If you live in the NYC area and are in an HDTV-capable situation, you'll be happy to know that for the first time in over two years (since 9/11, in fact), you can recieve WABC in High Definition. Apparently, they are broadcasting from the top of the Conde Nast building in Times Square. According to this thread over at the incredibly great AVS Forum, people are finally getting reception. One big problem however...as of about 8:30 on Thursday night it looks like folks due North of the antenna (read: ME) are out of luck. I'll be monitoring the situation and will let you know what the deal is from here in Central Westchester, just as soon as my "honey" is done watching Survivor off the TIVO.
UPDATE: Apparently the kinks were worked out fairly quickly because by 9:25 I was tuning in WABC-DT loud and clear. What was my reward? Umm,....Extreme Makeovers and a 20/20 about the death of Princess Diana. Oh well, HDTV technology can't fix EVERYTHING...
