Thanks for all the advice Geoff. I am looking hard at that option now,
but it looks like OTA I will only get 4-5 channels (in HD) and I won't
even get all of the major networks. There are too many channels on
cable that I think I would miss, like Discovery and the ESPN's.
Something to think about though.
On a side note, is there any major difference between the pcHDTV3000 and
the pcHDTV5000?
Thanks again,
Brad
