3 edits | Cable or OTA TV here? No thanks, I'll take satellite. Comcast Cable here (Mendocino County) doesn't hold a candle to the quality or selction on satellite, if we could get DSL out here we'd probably consider dropping Comcast completely (we only have them for HSI).
OTA is even worse, we are served by a translator that is still broadcasting in analog, and will continue to do so for an unspecified amount of time after the Feb date, and they are even saying they can't yet say how many channels they'll still get once the Bay Area stations go completely digital next year. The Bay Area station towers are all over 100 miles south of here, we don't have any local channels in our area (the closest is in Santa Rosa, 70 miles south of me, their tower is near Santa Rosa). So basically, not HD OTA here, you HAVE to have cable or satellite to get OTA HD channels in our area.
"Important - About Digital TV!
DO NOT WORRY! You will not be affected by digital TV changes right away. We will still transmit in analog.
However, you should still purchase a DTV conterter box using the DTV coupons ($40) from the government because eventually we will transmit DTV signals. If you wait until next year, the coupons may no longer be available. And note: you must buy a DTV converter that has analog pass-through in order to receive all TIA stations! It's not as hard as it sounds... read DTV on TV Translators to find out more.
It has yet to be determined how many stations we will be able to receive once the switch has been made to DTV."
