wow you can do that? hrm.. i thought they hadn't launched that yet.

i did it on my TV. it picked up the regular standard channels and the digital channels. the digital channels were broadcasted in HD. instead of it being channel 10 for FOX i had to enter 10.1 same went for CBS instead of 5 it was 5.1

my tv has a quam tuner, which pulls the digital signals out of normal coax cable without needing a digital box, but rabbit ears i didn't think had the capability to pull the digital signals just yet... i know by 2009 they will have to have them...

TV is better in standard. I have TV that is standard and my PC moniter is High Definition (HD). I guess it might be because I use the computer a lot more then a TV. Wouldn't it be worse having a standard definaition monitor?
