Ok so I guess you can call me a newbie to the HD game. We've never even had cable in my house so I don't know the first thing about cable/sattellite subscriptions.
I've read all about HD equipment, resolutions; I understand everything about WHY its better.
What I can't seem to find information easily on is how to get programming. And I know I'm not the only one. I have at least four friends with HDTVs yet none of them have any HD channels (local or through cable). So instead they watch crappy analog tv on their set and it looks terrible since the tv reveals the flaws.
So I know what a set top box is and I know you can use it to get HD channels through your cable provider. What I am still confused about is whether or not you can get local channels for free (with only an antenna or perhaps a set top box that you pay for once).
Someone please clear this up for me.
Thanks
Josh
