Right after the AP published a story that explained how antennas might deliver better HDTV pictures than cable or satellite, the Consumer Electronics Association’s AntennaWeb.org was hammered with inquiries. That day, some 86,000 people filled out a form on the site to get recommendations on antenna choices, which crashed the site for a bit. As Broadcasting & Cable points out, broadcasters have been frustrated that more people don’t recognize the value of free over-the-air HD.
