I have a 40 inch Mitsu tube set that still after 12 years has a great picture and can handle more resolution than most tube tv's.
My local channels are broadcast in HD OTA. I noticed on ebay close to 500 HD receivers for sale. many of them cheap.
Question:
1. Do these used HD receivers support an OTA HD feed from an external antenna such as a trek? Is that what ATSC is??
2. Can I buy a used HD receiver such as an old Direct TV HD receiver that supports ATSC and add a OTA antenna such as a Trek and then come S-Video in to my 40" Mitsu. TV does not have RGB being 12 years old.
I ask because I have to believe that the picture quality will still be better than what I am getting with cable. I have the digital package with cable and those channels look great on the tube Mitsi but locals are not in Digital on cable.
Will this work?? Is ATSC support on an HD receiver OTA??
Thanks
