How the hell can i get fox in HD?

I found this on google...

Dish does not offer local channels in HD. You will need an outside antenna hooked to your 811 receiver. You can then add the local HD channels. You will then have multiple CBS, NBC etc. channels.

I'm going back to "rabbit ears" you just set them on the back of the TV and move them as needed for reception.

Tapeworm · « **Reply #15 on:** January 10, 2011, 02:02:35 AM »

Looking back on it, getting reception was more fun than watching whatever was on. "A little to the left. THERE!"

Then pop takes two steps toward the couch and fzzzzzzz. "GODDAMMIT!"

There is no cable offering in your neighborhood?...
Well look for signal fading during heavy weather...

there is cable, no roadrunner tho. street is too new.

Road runner is a product of Time Warner; If it is a new street you can probably get Fiber To the Premise with Uverse...FTTP works perfectly and nothing interferes with it short of physical destruction of the fiber...and long term power failures.

No uverse here. Thinking about switching to time Warner and keeping AT&T DSL.
