Off Air HDTV Broadcast Channels

The best way to determine which HDTV broadcast channels may be available in your area is to visit the website AntennaWeb.org.  Their site will show you the compass directions and approximate tower distances from your television location by zip code.  Then they provide an HD antenna recommendation for your specific situation.

In this time of transition from the older analog NTSC television broadcasting standard to digital ATSC, some of the so-called "HD programs" that you see today are actually up-converted to HDTV resolution (you may see a really soft picture) or may be shown in the 4:3 format with bars at the left and right of your picture instead of the widescreen 16:9 format.  At times, you may also not get 5.1 digital audio on some of these programs.

Below are some of the HDTV broadcast channels that could be available in your local area.  Of course, you'll need to have a HDTV television with a built-in ATSC tuner, or an HDTV-ready TV with a separate over the air HDTV receiver, plus your HDTV antenna in order to be able to view free local off air HDTV broadcast channels.

BE AWARE THAT you may not be able to pick up all the HD channels listed below, depending on tower locations and the antenna you choose!
