Also, with digital television now a reality, reception of many more
channels might be available with a high definition tv and tuner. I
have read that up in the mountains about 30 or 40 miles from me, where
tv reception has been impossible all these years, they now get great
reception from several digital over-the-air high definition stations,
some quite far away.

One of my freinds ( well to do, works two jobs) bought a 50 inch HDTV flat
screen;
and the surround sound system. Much like having a small theater in your house;

- really quite impressive!

- But for the price, you could probaly buy a full SW Transmitter,
antenna & Studio ( ! ! ! )

& There's lots to hear on WBCQ, 7.415, BBC, 5105, VOA, etc..

& library books are fun.
