If anyone is aware of a good site w/info re the above topic please respond. Yes - I did do a Google and the hits where overwhelming. I was hoping to find something similar to this site with local NC related information. Thanks and Happy New Year everyone ...

Depends on what you're looking for.

For general info, you might try cnet's page here.

I also like avsforum.com for more detailed questions.

For free local HD signals, you can look up your house on antennaweb.org and see what you can expect to pick up with an antenna.

Mark,
I've been poking around the net about similar info since my purchase a few weeks ago. I've had the best results using Google and specific searches for the question of the moment. Otherwise, I like the avs forum that Gregg suggested. For reviews of specific products just google the product name and add "reviews". Of course, the quality of information varies widely since most of it comes for retailers like Amazon, etc.

HTH,
Roger

Fyi, there is also a short article in the N&O today about how to sign up for the $40.00 coupon Uncle George is providing towards the purchase of a limit of two per household, Digital/Analog converters for over the air broadcasts, for those of us still using "rabbit ears" to receive TV signals.....

When I bought my HDTV a couple of years ago, I spent a lot of time on the High Def Forum. Back then, the folks were pretty friendly.

That's a great link . . . at least for lurking.

I've used CNET http://reviews.cnet.com/ for reviews of TV's and other electronics in the past. Not overly personal but a good starting point.
