HDTV

I know most people have cable TV, but for those that don't, the switch over from analog signal to digital will be mostly good. We have already bought a converter box, and the HD offers more channels with a better picture. There are a few drawbacks however. I saw a program explaining how much better HD will be than the analog signal. They said that the screen wouldn't roll and there'd be no funny colors. True. BUT what they did not mention is that when the signal is weak for HD you get these big old squares to distort the picture instead, and the sound pops in and out like a scratched DVD which is equally annoying. We probably will eventually invest in an outdoor antennae to get more channels and a better signal for some of the weak channels, but we do like having more options from PBS, as well as a few anytime weather channels and the Retro TV Network.
