How are you receiving HDTV Service?

[Dave3putt]

Satellite cable & the total lack of any legitimate C.S. has done a LOT in promoting O.T.A., I believe!!

Yeh, but I can't get The Golf Channel and the Speed Channel OTA. Or the Playboy Channel, actually.

HI DAVE......


TOUCHE !!! NO QUESTION ... I suspect (after reading his again ) that the frustration was due to
his latest exposure to their miserable HD DVR,

NOT satellite, per se??? Have a great one!

That conference surely "MESSED UP!" The most naive pollster on the planet SHOULD have allowed for COMBINATIONS! C.U. did the very same in their annual survey, as well......didn't REALLY want to know, obviously! eli whitney

Dear Eli,

Please note the following:

1. At the conference the audience was polled using hand-held response devices, which did not appear to allow multiple voting. I believe it was a technical limitation, not a design mistake.

2. Our forum software (where this poll has been republished above) also does not allow for multiple selection. So again, a technical limitation.

3. The software we used for our annual survey does allow for multiple answers, and the questions was presented that way.

Thank you,

- Shane Sturgeon

Hello-

Wasn't trying to be overly-critical.....I apologize.

I OBVIOUSLY do strongly believe that all should connect O.T.A. for their HDTV , in addition to whatever else they elect to use. eli whitney

I, too, am among those who receive HD content from multiple sources...in my case Satellite (DISH) and extended cable (TIME WARNER)...for a grand total of about 40 high def channels all looking superb on my SONY SXRD 50" set.

I've been watching HD from my OTA for over a year and it's picture quality seems better then what I get from Dish. Most of our viewing is HD... we really like the sharper pictures. We seldom watch any of the old VOOM channels that Dish carries - as there is only one or two that have a super picture.

Hello---

Richard, Dave 3 putt & the rest of the guys can do it for certain BUT I seemed to have read / found out "accurately" about the compression / clipping issues done by ALL HDTV sources EXCEPT O.T.A. to make it a positive means by which we can all enjoy the full internal features of our new HDTV units to their best!!! ( EXCLUDING Blu-Ray, etc., naturally ).

LOTS LESS messing around w/ screen sizes, too.

Hi -
Seriously, I was strictly referring to that original '05
questionaire---NOT yours of this week! Appreciate
the explanation of those technical limitations.

AGAIN, I'm sorry to have offended!
