The first terrestrial television service began on November 2, 1936, in the United Kingdom with the launch of the BBC's television service. This service used the 405-line television system and was experimental at first, but it marked the beginning of regular broadcasts to the public. Other countries followed suit in the years after, establishing their own terrestrial television services.

Do you have to pay for a cable box each month if you get an HDTV with a digital tuner?

There are several alternatives to cable for HD television. They are dependant on the television and also the location. Terrestrial broadcasts are now being offered in HD. A television with an HD tuner needs no other equipment to receive HD terrestrial broadcasts but a digital HD terrestrial receiver box may be needed. Most areas have satellite coverage. Sky in the UK and Dish Network in the US are two examples. The UK also has the Freesat service - a free satellite service that includes SD and HD broadcasts. A suitable satellite receiver is needed but there is no subscription to be paid. Cable providers provide competitive services to terrestrial and satellite broadcasts but almost all demand a monthly subscription. Depending on the location, satellite and terrestrial broadcasts offer free to air services as well as subscription channels. Local television retailers will be able to advise on the availability of broadcasts in your area but be aware that their intention is to sell equipment and sesrvices to you so their advice may be biased towards subscription based solutions.
