Once you have purchased your set, you will need to decide a cable system that offers you digital cable service and that Hi def comes part of their assemblage. Be knowing tho' that if you opt a Cable/Dish provider to get high def you may be billed more for your local stations.

The common fee for getting your local hd stations via your provider is around $10/month over and above your normal program.
