Customers buying HDTVs, but do they get HD?


Customers are lugging HDTVs home by the truckload, but, according to a study by the Leichtman Research Group, almost half of the 24 million U.S. HDTV households aren't actually getting HD signals. Leichtman found that some of those same customers, about 6 million, don't even realize they're not actually watching HDTV. Denver Rocky Mountain News (4/30)

You have a right to an antenna!

The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.

Q: Who do I call if my town, community association or landlord is enforcing an invalid restriction?
A: Call the Federal Communications Commission at (888) CALLFCC (888-225-5322), which is a toll-free number, or 202-418-7096, which is not toll-free. Some assistance may also be available from the direct broadcast satellite company, broadband radio service provider, television broadcast station, or fixed wireless company whose service is desired.
