heh, a person could make a nice hobby of studying that and DRM etc. Well I watched a season of the PBS Masterpiece "Downton Abbey" in 1080i, so that was nice--Comcast doesn't seem to move the low free channels. Several years ago I rented their HD tuner for a few months, and was underwhelmed. But I'm sure for a price they have very nice solutions now. But you're right to point out the free OTA, the last time I checked with an old VHF/UHF antenna, it pulled in a handful of digital ota channels--and that was just throwing it in the attic. I might have even been able to get hidef with it, though that particular tuner and the Pentium D wouldn't have decoded them. Anyway, it is clear that the new low wattage Intel CPUs and 1155 motherboards make the whole thing worth another look, and thanks again for all your thoughts!
