According to Antennaweb.org , I’m no more than 5 miles from the antenna towers for getting 8 HDTV channels and only 1.4 miles from getting half of those. I bought the cheapest indoor HDTV antenna that I could find but I figured anything should work since I live close. I think I have it pointed in the right direction too. I pick up stations on channels I thought would be Digital but they are still in fuzzy Analog.

Both cable and satellite look too pricey and carry more than I am interested in. Not to mention I am looking at, for the family, 6 tv’s and 3 recorders. Once the FCC cuts off analog signals how can I continue to use over the air signals without purchasing all new gear? Are there adapters, tuners or some type of converter I can get?
There is no vent or other direct heat on the set. The question is whether just the fireplace heat will heat the wall to a degree the TV would be damaged.
We are just moving to the house, and have not run the fireplace….
It just seem to me a lot of people have put a flat screen over the fireplace mantle! Your experience are of great interest to me.

I bought an HDTV yesterday and when I auto-programmed my stations I was able to pick up all the local channels (NBC, ABC, FOX, etc.) withouth using an antena. What I thought was strange was, I was able to pick up what appeared to be other digital stations that I didn’t think were considered “over the air”. In addition to stuff like Style network, I was picking up random movie stations, Howard TV (on demand station), and even porn. Is this common? The strange thing was the stations would randomly cut out, and also change. For instance, I’d have Howard TV on channel 81-3 one minute, then that would cut out and it would be on channel 90-1. This happened with quite a few stations. I would get these movies for a while, then they’d either cut out due to “weak signal”, or change to a different station that I’d locate later when flipping around. 1 – is this common? 2 – Would buying an HDTV antena keep these stations from cutting out? The more help/info I could get, I’d appreciate it.
