Hi. I have a friend who recently purchased a 26" Polaroid HDTV from
Circuit City. He also bought a digital antenna there that he hooked up
to the television. Unfortunately, he has found that the picture of the
tv stations often 'pixelates.' I am not sure if 'pixelate' is the
proper term. What happens is that the image on the screen breaks up
into little squares and sometimes even freezes for a few seconds. He
has found that it happens so often that sometimes he can't watch any of
the stations at all.
My questions: is the 'pixelation' problem one that is common with using
an HD antenna (that is, versus cable or satellite)? Is it all the fault
of the antenna or is part of the problem with the tv itself?
One reason I am asking is that I am planning to buy a new HDTV too. I am
thinking of getting a Sharp 32" LCD tv, model # LC-32D62U. Like my
friend, I am planning to use the television with a digital antenna
because i don't want to pay for cable, satellite or other pay-service
right now. Should I expect to experience the same "pixelation" problem
as my friend?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
