Boxing Day/Week HDTV Deals thread

[rilhouse]

why on earth do you see this as a major advantage?

uhhh, free HDTV maybe?

i will not be getting rogers or bell HDTV, my main use will be Xbox360/PS3 & HD-DVD/BluRay. so it would be nice to be able to get a hand full of free OTA HD.

I'm hoping to bag a 24" - 27" HD LCDTV, for under $500 (taxes in)...

My fingers are crossed...

I'm looking for a smaller flat screen but with 1080i or 720p. I'm willing to spend like $200-500 for like a 19"-27" Something cheap but worthwile. Hopefully I can find something.

My wish is a 32" LCD HDTV with HDMI (1080i, ATSC IS not an issue) for less than $699.99

Ahh you're in the GTA. How many networks are broadcasting terestrail HD? I thought city had a test for it but I thought that was about it.

Good to know... however, what the heck are half those channels?

[bobmanw]

Ahhh... and where will you be getting these free signals from?

you need an antenna and receiver that will be able to process the HD signal...
the antenna is the one that looks like a leaf raker. and well as for receivers that are non-satellite dish..i don't know about it too much....but i'm sure you can get one in any satellite shops.

[redflagger]

what's the cheapest price you guys have seen the Sharp Aquos lc37d40u go for?
