The problem is that aside from feeds, about all that's out there in HD & is FTA is PBS.

There are a couple recievers out there that will do HD FTA but they start out around $600.

I'm hoping that the 'reasonably priced' FTA recievers will get on board with HD / 4:2:2.

I'd like to see something along the lines of the Pansat 3500s that would be 480i/p / 720p / 1080i capable. If it came in under $250 that would be awesome.

Right now for HD FTA the best bet seems to be a stand alone blind-scan reciever and a PCI card or USB DVB tuner.
