Be sure you are capable of receiving off-the-air tv signal before you go out and get that antenna. Hookup the antenna the normal way (ant. to the ant_tv). HD station comes through different channels then what you normally watch.
I have a Hitachi LCD HDTV w/on-board HD tuner along with a standard DirectTV receiver(no HD) and I'm trying to get my locals only in HD. I was told an amplified off-air antenna will do the trick. Question #1 - what indoor amplified off-air antenna should I go with? Question #2 - do I hook up the antenna to the DirectTV receiver or to one of the antenna inputs on the TV? If to the DirectTV receiver, then are the local signals mixed satellite + antenna) and sent to the TV to be converted to HD format? or do I have to keep the HD local signals seperate from the DirectTV receiver (going directly into the antenna input of the TV)? Non-guru needing help. Thanks.
