Has anyone had any luck getting OTA HD broadcasts through an HD Cable Converter box? I'm thinking of putting in an old A/B switch in line before going into the single RF input of a Scientific-Atlanta Explorer 8000HD but I have a feeling it will be a waste of time.

Thought I would post the question here in front of the pros to see if any of you had any advice -- or if it's just time to pony up for the standalone HD converter in order to get the OTA HD.

Thanks for any help guys.

My only experience is with the General Instruments HD converter box.....
It will only convert CATV's HD feeds.

I haven't had any luck in getting an RCA DT-100 to convert HD OTA signals, either- could be because the customer lives in a hi-rise that blocks almost all tv signals, though....
We can do it my way, or we can do it my way while I yell. The choice is yours.
