Nov 26th 2008 12:17PM You do not need a set top box to get HD. If your cable company offers HD in your area, all it takes is a channel scan on your QAM tuner TV with the cable connected directly to the TV. A standard cable box will BLOCK the HD channels. If cable in your area doesn't offer HD, you can get it with an antenna. Do a new scan periodically because cable is still adding channels and stations are still switching to HD or switching to different frequencies after Feb. 17 2009.
