How do you get free HDTV?
You will need an antenna and a HDTV with a tuner built in. You will then get your local channels in HD.
What does hdtv do?
HDTV represents the regular picture and television channels that someone is used to seeing, but they are in high definition. This means that there will be a clearer picture.
What kind of formats are available for HDTV televisions?
There are three types of HD formats-720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Progressive and Interlaced Scanning are also available for an HDTV to use.
What is the difference between hdtv and hdtv monitor?
HDTV is a new format for displaying a TV picture. It has higher resolution and clarity than the old NTSC format. Most stations that are broadcasting digital signals are now using 4 channels for every 1 they had before. They are reserving some channels for HDTV format and some channels for NTSC format. An HDTV will display the HDTV format and probably the NTSC format as well. An HDTV monitor can display the same picture, but probably lacks a tuner to actually receive the television signals. You need to plug something into it like a computer, a DVD player, or a tuner. If that thing sends out an HDTV signal then you can see it on the monitor.
Do I need an HDTV antenna separately?
No, you do not need a separate HDTV antenna unless you are using the antenna to get your channels. If you have cable TV, then the antenna is not necessary.
Why would someone need an HDTV antenna?
You would need an HDTV antenna when you can get all of your channels and when you get bad signals. This is when the picture don't play clearly and it has bunch of lines.
When you have a HDTV with antenna will it be necessary to go with a cable company?
No, and actually you will probably get more over the air channels than before, and with much higher quality than you might expect. Some of the channels are being broadcast in HDTV format, which has higher resolution than standard TV. Look at other questions about HDTV and how to find out what stations are in your area and how to choose the best antenna.
Will a new HDTV still pick up the old analog channels?
Not unless it has both kinds of tuners.
Why are some of your HDTV channels gone from your dishnetwork?
the ones on sat 129 are down few on 110 119
Can 52 inch stainless steel whip antenna be used for HDTV over the air?
A whip antenna can certainly be used to capture TV channels on a HDTV. Since the set itself is digital, it will not require a converter box.
Do HDTV get the free channels without paying cable?
If you hook it up to rabbit ears or an omni-directional antenna than it is free. You will get only about 10 channels though (if you're lucky) and none will be HD.
How do you convert an analog TV to HDTV?
One can convert an analog TV to HDTV by using a set top box or digital analog tuner converter box. One does require a HD ready TV though to be able to watch the HD channels.
