    Okay well I have a 720p tv and I was watching fox and realized that it said HD at the bottom I thought I needed a cable box because I was looking to see what HD channels I have because I don't have an HD cable box but my parents do. So any way my tv has a helpful thing when I click display it tells me what the resolution it is in my I know it works because my xbox is set to 720p with the hdmi but it wasn't saying that for the Channel I was watching so I was hoping someone could help me find the right equipment for converting my (I believe) VHF to receive HD broadcasts in 720p without getting an I'd cable box and I want to be able to pay for most of it myself.

    It is getting to be a real pain going downstairs and watching the difference between my tv and theirs.

    You can receive over the air HD signals on your HD set if you have a built in tuner, which it should, with a pair of rabbit ears, if you're located in a city with broadcast TV. All broadcasts are set to be HD only, early in June, here in the States. To receive HD over cable you need a box and usually have to subscribe to a minimum of HD service. Fees and box rental.

    Read the TV Instructions for how to connect and configure your set for OTA HD signals. It's not rocket science -pretty easy.
