Go get the CS-102 hdtv antenna from http://kowatec.com/prod/cis/products.php?i=cs102
so you would get free HDTV.
This amazing antenna gives crystal clear images. It's only $49.99.

It runs for aprox. 90 days from mailing date. Mine expires on May 23 2008,
not 2009. Which only gives me 80 days to use them. I bought one yesterday
at Walmart. Hooked it up to an old vcr last night. Picture was good but no
sound. Cables may have come lose. Haven't had time to check it yet.


I guess I wasn't too clear but what I was trying to say was that the
application period (to apply for the card) is open until March of '09.

I probably misread it. Sorry.

==========================
NONE of the coupon boxes will output HDTV.
They are limited to 480i.

You need a $150-$200 box to get an HD signal.

You can buy a new Hisense HDTV receiver for $59.99 on ebay.

Feedback says it works great.

That link says it has +4.35 dB gain, which is on a par with what a
simple loop antenna can do. So it's a $2 loop in a fancy box for $50.

The much less expensive (but still usually overpriced) Zenith Silver
Sensor has about 7 dB gain. See the gain comparisons he

My Hisense tuner from Denton Texas has the Audio coming in a little late
from the mouth movement.
Any ideas on the cure.


I don't own a Hisense, but that's a pretty common problem. Is this on DFW
stations? All of them, or just a couple? Check audio sync settings if
there are any. It may also be a station problem if it's isolated to 1 or 2.

This being old I shouldn't respond but I'm old also, any decent UHF
antenna (Bowtie ETC) works for the UHF SD and HDtv signals (All) even
the ones from the 60's (Except those weathered beyond use of course).
