Comcast does offer HD-TV now, call them and see if it's available in your area.. if it is they would rent to you a special set-top box for your HD programming

if they don't, you can still get a OTA set-top box, and an antenna for your local channels

it's possible for you to get the sat-c upgrade kit from directv...you'd have to install that third prong yourself, or pay someone to do it...or you can just get the oval dish that already has the third prong built in (easier) but it costs a little over $100, it may be cheaper now, i haven't checked recently

Wow, so basically you can see more of the field and court with HDTV?? It looks like your a little bit further away from the action though.

Maybe a little further, but more like you are close to being there yourself than watching a regular tv set.


Birdog, where can I find out about what you are referring to?

You are not any further away - just snip off both sides of the pic and you will have the normal 4:3 picture.
