I was reading an article about HDTV and the author mentioned that many more broadcasters are doing so in High Definition which as it turns out can be picked up with those old timey "rabbit ears" antenna. And according to him, sometimes in even better quality than over cable or satellite.
Has anyone done this and able to confirm?

What you are referring to is "Over the Air" HD. If you live in the GTA area, you should be able to tune about 7-8 HD channels. Keep in mind that you need to have an OTA receiver in order to do so.

I wonder if anyone has begun to map the HDota hotspots?

There is mention of a box so I would guess it has to do with a ota receiver. Isn't it funny how now that I was to review the article, I'm damned if I can find it in all these magazines.

newsflash!
There has been a technological advancement to the television industry, the like of which the world has never seen before!
The new technology, christened "Slightly Higher Definition TV" or SHDTV, is reputed to be the biggest breakthrough in TV since Mrs Prince down the road discovered that her remote wasnt working because the batteries were dead.
The industry has proved incredibly popular because the consumers were told that it was and they all went out to buy an SHDTV set and an SHDTV-DVD, for the minimal cost of both their eyeballs, plus $50 a minute charge for the extra-high bandwidth the cable companies use to send the subliminal advertising through the cable.
Mr Simpson of park road said "It's amazing to see the difference! When i switched it on for the first time I realised what I had been missing all that time" then he walked off with a wad of cash he'd been given by the advertising companies.
It is expected that by 2010, everyone will have been forced to buy SHDTV because all the reasonably priced products will have been forced into obsolescence by the greedy bastards who sell this ****.
watch out for the next great advancement! It's expected to come soon and will involve a miniscule difference in quality and cost a massive amount to upgrade to!!!!
