I am kind of new to the HD scene, and I was hoping to get some help on here. I just recently purchased a Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1, and I was wondering what the best option of HD would be for me. I currently have standard Direct TV, and was just going to upgrade to their HD, but I have seen alot of problems with getting the local stations, even with the new MPEG 4 receiver. I live about 60 miles north of Atlanta, so it seems like an antenna would be an expensive way to go. My other option would be Charter cable. I know you get the local stations with them, but there isn't much else. I would like to have a HD DVR, but I heard that Charter doesn't offer a box with a HDMI port. Would the picture be considerbly worse without it? Any help you could give would be greatly appericated. Thanks.
