This is a good question, but without a lot of answers.
There are very few HDTV OTA recivers. The reason is the FCC brodcast flag which required copy protection of the digital signal after it was recived. Good news this was thrown out by the courts in May of this year.
So we are just starting to see HDTVs with ATSC digital tuners in them.
The bad news is that the production set top boxes has not started to pickup, not a big demand as of yet. This leaves people like you who have a HDTV monitor no easy way to get the OTA HD braodcast.
Yes HD-OTA TV does require a strong signal!! to use your antennas you may have to gat a RF amp $30.
Suggestions!! Both Dishnetwork and Direct TV have HD braodcast. Cable has HD channels.
The Dish Network HD reciver also has a OTA HD reciver in it to pickup bradcast channels in addition to the satilite signal.
I have a ATI HDTV wonder in my PC gets great OTA HD.
Here is a link from amazon they have others also.
If I find any reviews on them I will repost. John

I have a Sony 36" HDTV (240 lbs. of glass and guts!) TV which has great picture. The HDTV part is useless though since I don't have any such signal to feed it. Want to get a set-top box such that all TV signals go through the box (basic cable, off-air antenna) and I only have one remote to change ALL channels (cable plus antenna). Also want to insure that the HDTV receiver has decent performance using my anteenas in the attic (probably weak signals - I'm 40-50 miles from both NYC and Philly). Local Circuit City carries the Motorola HDT101 and nothing else. Any suggestions? What has been your experience? THANKS!!!
