Anyone Watching Hi Def Cable TV on a Projector?

Okay, Mitch...here(hear) it comes: Nope: Your landlord, Condo Assn., City, county or even State has NO SAY(!). FCC has mandatated that all must have equal access to all(!) signal sources. This is a Federal law: If you want it, you can get it.

FCC over rules all (except in cases of Historic Presevation buildings...):okay. let's say you live at the base of a mountain with the most meanist of Condo-type rules. No antennas. Nope. you can erect a 40+ foot antenna and, being Federal rules, they can't say no....assuming there are no alternatives. If you could have gotten the same signal from an antenna mounted to a 4x4 coming out of a concrete-filed bucket, then you could not use the above-mentioned antenna.

Of course, the problem is this: you don't live in a rent-controlled City so, once you 'mention' your rights, you get the 30-day notice and you are SOL.

Bummer.

...I'm too old to fight any more. I'll go with cable and to heck with it. The horrible thing about my situation is that I already have a satellite dish up there, the SOB's won't let the guy go up there to exchange it for an HD dish.

OK, now THAT is BS... Sum bishes... carp sukin madre lookers...

A71spud & Unclejeff,

I spoke to an attorney that lives here about the ability to get HD without buying an HD television. I told him for about $1k he could get a projector like mine and have HD from cable. He came over and saw my setup with the the projector and HD dvd and was amazed at how good the picture was for so little money. I also explained that he could get HD from cable also on the projector. He has a satellite dish with DirecTV and I explained that they wouldn't allow anyone on the roof to exchange the old dish for a new HD dish. He went down and had a talk with them. My neighbor then went down to Fry's Electronics and bought the same model of projector that I have.

I now have a new DirectTV HD dish....and so does my neighbor. The HD picture is stunning.

Huge thanks to all of you guys on Audiogon.

Mitch

Many Congrats!

Really, it is not about the hassle(sp?), but more on the results.

Continue to be some of the good people.

Enjoy.
