    I have an HD tv at my dad's house but he isnt willing to ad an hdtv box. He regular cable tho. Ny friend was saying if i bought an indoor HD antenna i could hook it to my tv and get many HD channels.

    Anyone ever heard of this?

    geographic location matters....and by many HD channels, he means only the network channels....i think

    yeah the antenna needs to be outdoors to pick up any decent signal strength..... had a buddy who used to get HD over the air.... local channels PBS etc

    don't quote me on that, i believe who your cable provider is might also be a factor

    here in suburban OKC the antenna needed to be outside to get reception worth a fuck..... this was before Cox offered HD service with digital cable and he could pick up all the network channels plus a few others....

    I have indoor rabbit ears connected to an HDTV and get several local HD channels in the DFW area. There is no real difference between a $10 old-school TV antenna and the "HD optimized" ones RadioShack will try to sell you for $50.
