The one thing that has not been advertised is most broadcast TV stations have already added multiple digital channels to their stations over the air. Here in L.A. we went from channels 2 - 4 - 5 - 7 - 9 - 11 - 13 and UHF to channels

These channels are available to anyone with a digital tuner and an outside antenna. They should be available with a converter box so even if you don't have a HDTV you'll gain programming.

The cable companies strip the digital channels off and make you pay extra to get the HD signal.

The store where I bought my HDTV told me I had to contact a cable or satellite company and subscribe to a HD package if I wanted to receive HD so I was surprised when I hooked up the set and all these "New" HD and Digital channels came in.
