50hdx82 hdtv input from Samsung OTA tuner - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Just hooked up my Samsung ota hdtv receiver. What a picture. I'm not sure if you can pull in the Buffalo stations from Ontario, but if you could it's great!
Question is I think I have my setup right. I have the receiver outputting the1080 signal to the 50hdx82. that is correct, right?

The reason I question this is I notice the specs for this TV call it a 720p tv. So is it better to input that or the 1080?

Don't know the answer but if you can try them both! Check out various threads in the HDTV forum for peoples thoughts on whether 720p or 1080i is superior.

BTW: Where are you located and what are you looking to receive OTA?

I'm in Lockport, Ny - 15 miles from lake Ontario. I pick up the 2 Buffalo hdtv stations real good with just an attic uhf antenna.
