Best Way To Connect An Ota Antenna To My New Hdtv With Built In Atsc/qam Tuner?

When I Upgrade To Hdtv Through Digital Cable, Do I Need Also Upgrade To Bi-directional Splitter And Amplifier?

The cable feeds to 2 TVs and DVDR and VCR. My system was set up more than 10 years ago. At that time, there is no such thing like bi-directional splitter and passive return path amplifier for cable TV (just normal splitter and RF amplifier). If I upgrade to digital cable, do I need to buy these new accessories to split the cable signals for all my devices?

So the TV I’m looking at, a JVC LT-40X667, has “only” a 800:1 Contrast ratio according to CNET review. Otherwise they like the unit.
What the heck does that mean to me and should I be looking at a HDTV with a higher ratio? Does it even matter to the average Joe?
As always, thanks in advance for your insight!

How Can I Continue To Use My Analog Tv When All The Over The Air Boradcasts Are Hdtv?

Both cable and satellite look too pricey and carry more than I am interested in. Not to mention I am looking at, for the family, 6 tv’s and 3 recorders. Once the FCC cuts off analog signals how can I continue to use over the air signals without purchasing all new gear? Are there adapters, tuners or some type of converter I can get?
