Features

• All local television stations broadcast high definition signals using transmitters and antennas. As long as you have an HDTV and an antenna, you can receive HD channels.
  
  

Benefits

• Over the air HD broadcasts make high-quality programming accessible for a range of users, including those who do not have a cable box on all of their TVs.
  
  

Considerations

• Even some cable companies transmit select HD channels that do not require a cable box. As long as you have cable service activated, you may be able to receive local channels over cable without a cable box or antenna.
  
  

Tip

• To see what HD channels you can receive without a cable box, simply connect a cable or antenna and start a channel search on your HDTV.
  
  

Warning

• If you are receiving HD broadcasts over the air, make sure your antenna is in a good location. Digital and HD signals are more prone to interference than analog broadcasts, and even simple household obstructions can keep you from getting a strong signal.
