Your ATSC Tuner will pick up 101.1, 101.2...etc... If you have a digital box, they block them. So split the line, one to your box, one to the tuner...and voila.

Some places - with a good enough antenna - can pick up the digital stations from Youngstown or wherever. Erie's digital stations are basically non-existent.

They have postponed it so many times. It's our Fox affiliate which makes it frustrating since I want to be able to watch 24 in HD. Sadly, I still receive it in awful 1984 standard signal. No wonder they are on the verge of bankruptcy.[/quote] That's odd, because I thought Fox was sending all of its affiliates a "splicer" unit so that they could push HD (albeit without local affiliate overlays and things - a tricky task I've heard). Then again, perhaps they have the splicer but just aren't hooking it in or something. Are they digital and at full power and just not HD, or have they delayed even going digital?

How about giving your customers the best signal quality possible so they can enjoy HD programming? Isn't that reason enough? Millions of Americans enjoy HD broadcasts of Football, Baseball, Basketball, and Hockey. Yet these cheap stations in Erie think it is just wonderful that people have to watch the Superbowl or World Series in old fasion analog. What is the business case?

Furthermore, the first station that turns on high definition will likely see a large (albeit somewhat temporary) boost in viewership across all their shows, local and national.
