Hello there! I created this blog to share the information about over-the-air HDTV reception you have been wearily searching the Web or calling technical lines for. After working for a leading antenna manufacturer for almost 5 years, during which time I've shared my expertise with those who asked on the phone and by email at work, I decided to do the same in the Blogosphere! Confused about getting your local HD channels? Let me help! We'll get through this crazy and confusing transition, and prepare America for June 12th, 2009 (changed from 2-17-09 by the new Obama administration although some areas may do it sooner), the date analog off-air TV broadcasts will end, and become fully digital. If you want to get in touch with me with antenna related questions, just leave a comment or email me. Comments are preferable.

CLASSIC DTV IN RTN-VILLE

I have posted a couple blogs about MeTV, the Weigel Broadcasting owned classic TV station for Chicago and Milwaukee. Well, after a little additional research, it turns out that classic TV on a DTV subchannel is available in several markets across the country over the Retro Television Network - http://www.rtnville.com/ If you click on the "RTN Affiliates" or "RTN Programming" link you can see where this classic TV service is available in the country, and on which DTV subchannel.

Apparently in the MeTV case there is a partial partnership with RTN to broadcast these classic shows while Weigel holds a library of its own to fill the time 24/7 while other affiliates have a more limited schedule depending on the affiliate. Anyway, figured I'd mention this before someone out there catches my regional bias!
