TVs

Many rural areas where off-air broadcast is used the most to receive television signals is not near the broadcast towers. Where I live now the signals are good when not digital, but often cut out or not even available in ATSC. When we stop broadcasting two separate signals (analog and digital), and use only digital, will they boost that power so that we can receive those digital signals? Without that extra boost, we will lose about 5 channels and have about 3 left.

When the the electric goes out, will we be able to use our emergency battery operated TV's ? Do I have to buy new TV sets ? Do I have to hook up to cable, dish or some other expensive outlet to watch (what has always been FREE) television? When and why was this law passed and who will profit from this change?

The last 2 times I've been to the stores that have a lot of TVs on display, the LCDs just look brighter and sharper to me. They've all been playing the same video feed. The plasmas all looked dim and dull.

I could see that some TVs weren't set up optimally, but it was pretty universal.

I was at a major retail store today looking at flat (big) screen TV's.
I was trying to decide on one, and the sales person tried to sell me on calibrating the TV.
They normally charge $300 for this, but if I have them set it up, they will do it for $200, plus the normal set up charge fees.
Now setting up a TV is not rocket science, but calibrating a TV is a new one to me.
Is this a gimmick?
Is this worth it?
And if so, is this something I can do myself?
Thanks

I am looking for HD TV Digital Cable Ready 20" and 32" TVs Does anyone know of any that are on the market at this time 2007?

This was an answer given .
It looks like the cable industry is moving away from Cable-Card in favor of Switched Digital Video - a system that serves up programming upon request. No SDV TVs on the market yet, unfortunately.

Switched Digital Video
What does Switched Digital Video - (a system that serves up programming upon request) means ?

Please member hdtvjunk also answer this question, he was the one who said this.

Thank you

I just signed up for DISH network, I have an HDTV, have the HD/DVR receiver, and subscribe to the HD package. Of course now I don't know how to get the LOCAL HD stations for football or other HD Programing. I have the regular local stations (CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX) just not the HD versions any more. Anyone have any suggestions??

I am looking for a new TV. I want something...impressive. I love to watch movies and want to see them in a good a picture quality as I can get. I play PS2 and PS3, so the TV needs to work really well with that too.
I want something good enough that I won't want to get rid of it and get a new one in 3 years.
Do I need a 1080p or is a 720p ok? What is the difference really?
LCD or Plasma, which is better? Is there an issue of "burn in" with console games on a Plasma?
I really like the Sony brand, and am interested in maybe trying out Vizio.
What do you reccomend?

I ask because i noticed plasma seem to have glass(or plastic?), and i also noticed that some laptops do now which is obviously a LOT easier to clean than your standard LCD screen. And if they don't what is the best way to protect or clean a LCD screen...my laptop looks a nightmare.
