Wow, cool, thanks for the link. That Corsair looks exceptionally well made. If I had only 1/10th the patience required to do that level of construction...

General Radio Discussion / Re: Rabbit ears make comeback in digital TV era
« on: January 02, 2010, 2328 UTC »
I just bought a new digital capable TV a few months ago, and even though I have hi-def digital cable I just recently also put an antenna up in the attic, the Antennas Direct DB2 Multi Directional HDTV Antenna that I got from Amazon. The over-the-air channels come in great and the hi-def programs are better looking than the hi-def on cable. I'll probably switch over to the antenna for most major network programming. Fortunately my TV makes it easy, since the antenna is connected to a standard RF input and the cable box connects to an HDMI one. I just have to hit a button on the remote to toggle between the two.
