No in-the-clear on a new LED
I let the Friday madness pass and went to Target to get a cheap 19" Element that I needed for a dubbing setup I have. For fun I connected it to my basic cable to scan for the local off-the-air digital. Nothing other than the few analog channels Comcast uses to set tilt levels with showed up. No digi to be found. I took it back and got another one. Same thing. My current sets still get the signal even though their days are numbered and they are a few years old.
The question is do some newer sets have a block installed to shut down these few clear QAM signals even before the cables abandon them as they now can do? Philly did it two weeks ago. The suburbs are still getting them.
And for $99 this thing looks great as a monitor.
