General discussion

over air HD audio

by troggy--2008 Jan 25, 2005 11:09AM PST

I am looking at getting a Sony KDF-42WE655 HDTV. We can only get select HD channels through our cable provider so I want to use an HD antenna to get over the air content. From what I understand these just have a standard coax connection. What type of audio can I expect from this? Will I get the Dolby 5.1 as advertised on the networks? I will be connecting this to either my Sony receiver through my HDTV.

Any input would be great. Thanks.

you do get 5.1 surround from OTA signals. You of course need an OTA HD receiver that supports it (most if not all do). I assume your Sony TV does support it
