Background
I'm a new adventurer into the HD world; bought an RCA 50" DLP a few weeks ago. I currently have cable (non-digital package), but am waiting for the sat/local channel situation to settle down before deciding whether to go cable or dish for my HD input. In the meantime, I got an amplified indoor antenna (can't put up an outdoor one due to homeowner association restrictions) to see if I could pull in the couple of Rochester HD channels that are broadcasting OTA. When I hook it up and run the TV "channel capture" menu item, it finds the SD broadcast channels (with poor picture quality), but neither of the HD channels. I was hoping to find WXXI on 16 and WOKR on 59. As added info, I'm located in the Fairport area near Woodcliff.
Questions
[1] With the antenna I have, if I can get a signal from the SD channels should I also be able to get the 2 HD channels ?
[2] Could I have been doing the "channel search" at a time when the HD channels weren't broadcasting?
