Do you have CABLE? Get the HD CABLE BOX

Do you have Satellite? Get the HD Satellite BOX

Do you get only the LOCAL TV STATIONS?
GET the HD Terrestrial Reciever from Best Buy, Walmart or Radio Shack, and an Antenna….

THEN get a set of COMPONENT CABLES to connect the box(es) to your HD Component input jacks on the back of your TV set….

NOW you have HD reception !!

It IS that simple….

You need an ATSC (digital HDTV) tuner box. Here is one that is not too expensive

This is for getting HDTV from broadcast stations. If you have cable or satellite, you don’t need it. You can get the HDTV box from the provider.
