I have a sony wega with built in HD. Right now I only have regular analog Comcast cable. I do recieve some HD channels like CBS and ABC, but not NBC or FOX. My question is, will these other channels come in if I hook up a indoor HDTV Antenna, and can I use these antennas with my existing cable connection?

they do make OTR (over the air) hd antenna/tuners, but if your set has a built in HD tuner/decoder, you shouldn't need a special antenna.

as for using both at the same time, i could on mine as it has 3 cable jacks (2 in 1 out), but not sure how the sony is set up.

don't understand why you don't get nbc, my comcast had hd broadcasts on nbc, however they have no agreement with fox (at least where i'm at) and therefore do not have hd -- which prompted me to go satellite, as fox nfl on hd was my main reason for going hd -- well, that and my xbox ;)

Check out antennaweb.org - they list all your local broadcast towers and their distances (and directions) from your location. As long as you live in a reasonably big city (or within, say, 25 miles of one), you shouldn't have too much trouble receiving OTA broadcasts.
