Well I'll be damned. I never thought you get get more than 480 out of coax.

It's the same coax that runs from the DTV dish to the DVR. Carries HD from the dish to the DVR...

This will really blow your mind... you can get HDTV over the air! no wires involved.

I had an HD antenna once. I ran it through a satellite receiver (back in the days before local channels were broadcast on satellite). I had it hooked up to a SD CRT too, but didn't know I could use it coax without the receiver. I know Boxee Box has a USB coax adapter you can plug an HD antenna in to and receive local HD live on your Boxee Box. http://www.boxee.tv/live

That's exactly what I have, a homemade HD antenna on top of my house. works like a champ.      Standard coax, 1080.    and, it's ALL FREE!

The benefit of living in a metropolitan area. I live about 80 miles form the nearest TV station. I'd get a whole lot of nothing with one of those.

When I had my HD antenna (before I ditched it after local channels in HD were on satellite) I didn't even have to hook it up to the tv. It was amplified ($150 for the antenna, amp and mount at Radio Hut), and once I plugged it in, it was about 5 feet away from a SD tv and I was pulling in channels from Chico and Redding, 150 miles away.

I got the same email as digi but didn't feel the need to pimp it here.
