How can I get the Superbowl in HD?

Not for Lafayette. If you wanted to try for the Indianapolis locals, then definately.

I checked TV Titan listings, Lafayette CBS affiliate is in HD and planning to carry the game on HD channel 18.1.

Thank you

Well I just went to RadioShack and picked up an HD antenna. I hooked it up real quick just to see how it works. I got CBS with a 97% signal . Looks like I get to watch it in HD tomorrow :clap .

Where did you put the antenna? outside? or attic?

Scorpion, I also went to radio shack today and bought an OTA antenna to mount in attic. And it works well. This is a tad more expensive ($80), but it has a amp and is the about the size/shape of a DISH 1000. Online is sold out, but my store in Alexandria, KY had three of them (now only 2). Here is what I got (plus 100 ft RG6 coax)

If nothing else, you can hook it to your receiver, drape the cable across the floor and put the antenna on a chair and face it to the towers. Not pretty, but SB in HD.

I mounted it with the E* dishes. I get GREAT reception, 15 channels in all .

Edit: Forgot to mention it picked up channels I haven't seen before. One was called ION, and one was a local tv stations 24 hour weather.

Thats the same one I picked up. I looked on there web page and saw the reviews then had to go get one. Can't beat that price.
