Please log in for more thread options With something that is as confusing as this (2009 conversion) to the general
public, and with all the misinformation floating around, assuming can cause
problems, I saw nothing in the OP's post that indicated his reception
method, so it's a wise idea to provide complete info rather than just
assuming one method is being used over another, for all we know the guy is
using cable and may now run out to buy a converter box he doesn't need.

>> It's bad info like this that is confusing everyone. First, HD and digital
