Got my new Samsung 40" LCD today :)

DHL decided to deliver my TV today after all

Heres some pics:

Sadly, the only OTA chan I can pull in is CBS. NBC almost comes in, but has too many hiccups to be watchable. Fox doesn't come in at all I really wanted to watch Prison Break in HD tonight!

This is the antenna I am using.

Can anyone suggest a better indoor antenna to use?

Speaking of the devil, the truck just pulled in

7 something at night, I got some nicotine patches delivered and was surprised that they deliver so late.

Yeah I know, it was a rush job

Deal or No Deal looks pretty good in HD

Prison Break on my SD Dish box.. doesn't look so good.

mount the antenna on the roof or get direct tv or dish

I've got Dish right now.. only SD though. I'm gonna have to call them tomorrow to upgrade to HD if I can't pull in a better signal by mounting an antenna outside.

Hmm.. even though my antenna is indoors, the wind really seems to be affecting the signal strength. The signal goes out every time the wind is howling.

Anyway, I put this together for the hell of it:

Congratulations on your purchase :thumbsup:

I haven't tried OTA on our DLP or LCD yet.

One of my criteria for buying an LCD was a QAM tuner which helps a lot

pop in your address. and then set your ant towards that..

I suggest teh TERK TV5 it works good. BBY has it for 54 or so.

Well, I had the TV and DVR out there for a long time, but the DVD, Wii, and Logitech Z680s were moved out there yesterday in preparation of my new TV.
I'm going to have to go to Wal-Mart tomorrow and see if they have Wii component cables in stock.
