My computer guy at work has a Vizio and is totally sold on how wonderful it is. He has an outdoor antenna and says he can already get a lot of stations just using antenna. I didn't realize that each station broadcasts more than one program. I don't quite get it, but he gets three different shows from our public tv station at one time. Does that make any sense?
My sister had Vizios in her townhouse in Raleigh and they seemed really nice (though they were HUGE).
Yes, Cilla, once you upgrade to digital, you'll have access to several broadcast signals from one provider. Typically you'll have the basic channel (e.g., 2), then the alternates, like 2-1, 2-2, 2-3. Our local PBS station has 4 or 5 signals, though 2 of them usually broadcast the same stuff simultaneously.
