    Welcome to the glory that is HD-tv. i've heard that adelphia has problems, you may be waiting a while to get the channel that truly shows off the power of HD-tv. CBS, that's always the hardest local channel to get. I'm praying for you though

      Adelphia is way behind right now. Can't you get comcast at least? Two channels is just about not really worth it at all.

            Re: What is the difference between HDTV and EDTV

            Does anyone know what HDTV capabilities Cox Cable offers (if any)? I'm starting a new job in Kansas (I know...) but that's the only cable company that services the area.

            If there are none, what's better for HDTV...Dish Network or DirectTV, and how much will I be paying for the dish and the service.

            I have a Sony Wega 32" HDTV-monitor, so I know I will have to buy the set top box, but is there a way for HDTV to go from the cable or dish box via the DVI input, bypassing the need for a set top box? Sorry for the rambling, and thanks for the help (can't you tell I'm new to this).

                  with dish network and DTV, you don't need a set top box. I have Direct TV, but I know Dish Network will give you the HD box for free, DTV charges you for it. HD package is $10 per month extra.

                        What do you mean you don't need it for HDTV with D*TV? How can you possibly get high def with no set top box?

                              I'll clarify, i'm sure he means that you don't need an additional set top box for receiving the hd-channels via satellite and for the hd-locals. when you get your high-def equipment with D*, you'll get your hd-sat and an hd-receiver. this receiver will receive both your hd-locals (with help from an antenna), and your hd over the sat (via the Hd-package at $10.99)
