| Comcast Has anyone noticed how good broadcast digital TV is?
I received a $40 government coupon to purchase one of those digital broadcast converter boxes. I went to my local Wally World and purchased an RCA DTA800 converter box for $50, before coupon. I plugged in a bow tie UHF antenna to it and used the composite video and audio output jacks.
My TV is a 4 year old top of the line Sony 27" Wega Picture in Picture.
The picture is better then what Comcast delivers, it is clear and lifelike. I am thinking of doing away with Comcast. I like the fact that I get multiple channels with each broadcast channel. I don't watch that much TV.
I never had TV reception this good with Comcast; I guess I don't like the way Comcast compresses their digital signals, not that the picture was bad, it just not as good as broadcast digital. |
