    I'm thinking of listening on radio while I work in the yard. I know that sucks, but it should be a nice day.

    Antenna sucks.I used to have it cuz my parents were cheap. The signal thing used to me on top of the World Trade Centers, after the towers fell I had no TV for months all I got was a shitty signal from some where else.

    No, I'll be at the game but I like to record them as well so see things I missed live.

    I watched the World Series last night at a friends with an antenna like pictured above. On a 55 inch HDTV. The signal was top notch. This friend tried to tell me the picture quality is better because the cable providers compress the image so they can broadcast it to you.

    Makes sense i guess.

    The game cut out once or twice, but not bad.

    I'd be pissed if I wasn't going to the game, but I wouldn't switch providers, I'd probably watch it at a bar. The only thing I ever watch on fox is football, it's not worth the hassle of switching to be able to watch the Giants or baseball in fox's shitty picture quality.

    Better yet, buy one at Best Buy and return it within 30 days. If it's not back by then it will never be back.

    You forgot one...

    3) Go the game

    In this dispute it seems as though Fox are the bad guys, but I never trust Cablevision. Since I moved to cablevision-land in 2001 I've had everything but - Dish Network, Direct TV, and now Fios. The Dolans are always pulling crap like this, even if this time it seems Fox might be to blame.

    I heard a caller on WFAN yesterday say he went to RadioShack to buy an antenna but they were sold-out. The store manager claimed Cablevision bought them all. If that's true, then they are really being a-holes. I wouldn't put it past them.

    Sorry dude, You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.

    Fuzzy left w/ NTSC
    HDTV is ATSC which means no fuzzyness.

    Hence the reason if you have an HDTV (w/tuner built in)you get pure crisp & clear HDTV

    Oh cablevision, so glad I switched to DirecTV a few years back, haven't had any problems since. I still can't believe that to this day they still don't have nfl network, and that alone is enough to keep me away. No Fox either? No thanks.
