Thank you Charles.
Now i assume that this setup ( ATSC tuner and antenna) will get me free
channels that are known to be the "Basic" CV package (
http://www.optimum.com/ratecard.jsp?searchby=corp&corp=07870&serviceType=io&z=07601&_requestid=112439)
. Correct?
What if i want to have more channels and no CV's box? can i get rid of the
box ? if not - what do i need to enable the functionality i talked about
earlier?
Thank you
Andrew
