Fan in Chicago Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 ...or you don't want to pay DIRECTV $10/month to be able to watch the same 3 boring documentaries on DiscoveryHD but you'd like to watch the Super Bowl in HD....I think about that every so often.... 240233[/snapback] Comcast is obligated to provide HD broadcasts of local channels for FREE with basic cable service (not digital, I mean analog basic). All you need is a HD tuner. If you have one of the DBS, I think Radio Shack stocks a clip-on antenna for your dish. You send the total signal (dish + OTA HD) to the receiver, split it and get HD + your regular dish programming. You only have to pay either company if you want to watch non-local stations' HD broadcasts. And yes, the Superbowl was on Fox so I got to watch it on my 106" projector in HD. Can you say 'Wow' ?
