HDTV TV and/or antennas for boat
With the old style TVs soon to be a thing of the past, I've been looking for a small +/- 13" HDTV for the boat. Will the old omni directinal boat antennas work with HDTVs?
Also, does anyone have any suggentions for particular makes, models or suppliers for HDTV and/or antennas?
Thanks for the input!

Your old omni should work fine for HDTV, but you might have a difficult time finding a 13" tv nowadays. Seems like 15" is the starting point anymore. Also, the HD signal over the airwaves will be highly dependent on your area and broadcasting stations.

That's right...Just tell someone you have had success anchoring with a Bruce, CQR or Spade and the stories go on forever. Is this thread getting sideways?

Probably. They usually die and are reborn. It's a popular topic.
