I run Cable TV systems, so we have been testing these signals.  Generally, they 
work better, with the same antenna.  You should replace the twinlead with RG-6 
Coax and an outdoor 300-75 ohm matching transformer.  The twinlead must be held 
away from any solid surfaces, especially metal, and would have problems if 
threaded down a mast.

  I built a TV antenna some time ago for about $12 plus the lead-in wire out of 
1" X 1/8 aluminum strip with two pieces about 3' long in a circle insulated 
from each other and connected to the TV twinlead. I hoist it up the mast and 
get great reception. Does any one know if that antenna will still work when 
they broadcast only in digital?

Pinnacle.com has an HDTV stick. I used it for a few months while in St.
Augustine and was amazed by the HD picture quality. Antenna height is
everything.

Subject: [Liveaboard] hd tv or antenna?

Some time ago someone on the list referred to a HD tv device for laptop.
I just got a 19" LCD TV-DVD (DAENYX  120-240 AC-12 VDC) combo from Wal-Mart
this past weekend. I am looking for advice on antennas or any thing that my
son can watch his channels.
Any help much appreciated.
