I stand corrected 1080i or 720p. Still cable and satellite can only compare if you pay extra for HD.

The 3' rule (actually 1 meter) is in the FCC rule you quoted here on 02-17-2008 I know television antennas are not allowed, but how about........

The rule was for video only but there have been some additions, not sure about Ham Radios.
