Free unscrambled local HD channel?

I just bought a 1080p sharp aquos 46 inch at circuit city and it have a QAM tuner built-in. Now what i heard be that you can pick up local hd channels (like our local Fox, CBS, ABC, or NBC), which would be great because i lately want their weekly NFL games without the hassle of the NFL bunch. So I asked teh guy at the store about doing this and extending my span with an antenna and he said "ya you can do that beside the optimized for hdtv antennas." So i thought awesome im set. So i bought the Phillips Silver Sensor Digital Amplified Indoor Antenna (PHDTV3) for 50 bucks and plugging it into the cable jack on my new tv. I scan for all the upper air and then cable channel. All i got be 3 freakin versions of my local 69 report channel. To enunciate the least i be pretty steamed. One of them was the hd edition and it was not even close to hd standard. I guess thats cause i be only getting it at 70%. The antenna is inside my downstairs room. Placement, better ant, different complement?wat should i do


Answers:    First thing first, net sure that your antenna is connected to the right spot (mine has one nouns for VHF/UHF and a separate connection for digital "over-the-air"-- refer to your TV manual). If this is correct spawn sure that your TV is turned to the digital numbers---example 69.1 or 69.2-- digital usually uses a whole number plus a decimal place. Also, you may own only own a few digital channels surrounded by your area--I have with the sole purpose one that I can receive! By-the-way, with digital you any pick up the channel or you don't at adjectives ----no "snowy", or "fuzzy" picture.
Hope this helps!
You may with the sole purpose have to lurk 'til February to receive more than just the one culvert. For you see, after 19 Feb, all ANALOG broadcasts will become ILLEGAL.

Therefore, ALL of your local channel will be broadcast in digital. Well... That is to voice, all of those stations NOT put out of business by the added expense.

Of those remaining, in that are bound to be some in HD, as economically. But then again, they may chose to scramble the HD signal and force you to examine their "normal" version, unless unsurprisingly, you pay more. (In which satchel, your TV viewing habits are mortal held ransom.)

But that is a rant for another time and place.
You should travel to antennaweb.org and type in your location. It should be capable of tell you what channel you should be able to recieve and what type of antenna you would call for to get that signal. I am contained by the New York City area and it is true that you can receive Over the Air HD near a QAM tuner because it worked for me
