[BC] to 'HD antenna' or not

[Kent Winrich]

Dont know if you haev had any replies yet......

 I had a 5 bay ERI that burned up just before putting in the HD system.  No
it was not the HD system that burned it.  Long story....

ANYWAYS.... I had it rebuilt and it worked just fine.  It was probably older
than than 12 years, and was previously tuned to another channel.  You work
with what you have......  I replaced every piece that even looked like it
was damaged.  Take the whole thing apart.  for mine I was aqmazed how emtly
thigns got.

We had plenty of bandwidth for the HD signal.

Hope that helps.
