you'll get about 60 digital channels altogether with a digital antenna.

As others stated, the ones that broadcast in HD are basically the network stations: ABC, NBC, FOX, CW, etc. However, the local networks have additional stations. For instance, KPRC 2, 2.2; KHOU 11, and also has 11.2, KTRK has 13.2, and 13.3 There is an sports channel (i forgot the channel it's in the 40s) NBC/UNIVERSAL SPORTS that broadcasts olympic type sports all day in HD......

The signal does chop up a bit occasionally in bad weather. My plasma tells me what signal is coming in, so your Vizio may do the same.

yeah, they break up sometimes.

alot of the newer televisions come equipped with built in digital converters. So all you would need is an antenna.
