I live in Metro-Detroit and am debating the purchase of an OTA STB to use with my current Digital Cable. My dilemma is this:
Comcast has recently announced HD Cable by Dec. 2002 for Metro-Detroit. My local discount retailer said that signals from Comcast HD will be downconverted to 720p or have a max rez. of 720p instead of 1080i. Is this true?
Should I buy a separate OTA STB NOW for my local HD offerings or wait and see if Comcast HD Cable will be able to provide me the exact material (Resolution wise) plus some of the premiums like HBO/Showtime in HD????
I am currently using an LCD Hi-Def projector (SE-13HD) with a 106" diagonal 52" x 92", 16:9 Da-Lite Hi Contrast screen. I want HDTV as quickly, but as affordably, as possible. Dish or DirectTV is not an option due to 5 tv's in my home and three 5.1 systems in the house.
Any advice or knowledge about Comcast HD Cable coming to Detroit or other things I should be considering??
Thanks, Brett
