Here’s the dilemna. I live in a nice area (North Hills) in a nice apartment complex (The Alexan). But for some reason, they signed a deal with INC Group so I can’t get Time Warner Cable. The only HD channels I can get are through satellite (Dish Network). So I can’t get local HD channels. I have this great 42 inch plasma TV and I won’t be able to watch the Super Bowl in HD.
Last year I was really excited about the Super Bowl, and tried everything I could think of to get it in HD. I tried getting a big antenna, but still couldn’t pick up any channels. 50 feet of cable and setting up the antenna outside (near the area where the Lassiter is supposed to be built) still didn’t do anything.
I’ve heard rumors that some people can pick up HD channels over the air. Sadly, there’s way to much interference where I am (first floor). Does anyone out know of a solution? Is there a package with INC Group that I’m not aware of that will give me local channels in HD?

Man, I feel your frustration. I do not watch that much TV so I never signed up for digital cable on TWC. It is nice that I can get the HD signals of the big 4 networks over the air though, but it helps that I’m on the 3rd floor. I would try this option again. You try a powered antenna? What is the model number of your TV? It may not have a built in tuner to do over the air HD.

Yeah, I bought the best powered antenna I could find from Radio Shack. Can’t remember the model of the TV, but I’m pretty sure it can handle over the air HD…though I will double check. That would be pretty dumb if I complained like this and my TV doesn’t even have the built in tuner…

True, well I think it is something that most people overlook. So if you can’t get it at your place, where in NH is a good spot to catch the game? Now there’s a blog post idea.
