Is HDTV free or do you have to pay to receive the signal?
Van Helsing asked:
Our new TV can pick up digital channels through the antenna. What is this? Is this HDTV?

you have to pay to get hd channels
it just saying that your tv is HD ready
HDTV is just TV in high definition. Well, in Australia it is anyway.
If your antenna can pick it up then its 100% free.
All the Aussie channels (free to air, not cable) have one or more special HD channels which play the same thing as the regular channel, just in HD
You pay on cable. You don’t have to pay with the new HDTV in Feb.
where do you live?
In the Tri State area where Comcast/Optimum/ Roadrunner ( ny / nj/ ct.)
they give FREE HD WITH CABLE. you have to pay if you get it with verizon FiOs
I have free HD
its awesome
Digital channels can be HDTV or just normal TV. Best way of telling is if the picture fills up the entire screen it is high def.
HD Channels are free, but you need to pay for a digital tuner to recieve them or have a tv with a built in tuner
If you receive the signal from an antenna, it is free. If your set is an HDTV set (and if it is new, it probably is) then you will get HDTV when the station broadcasts it. Some programs and many ads will be in “standard” definition (SDTV) which is not as sharp and the picture will not fill the screen. But when a program is broadcast in HDTV you should notice the difference easily.
hdtv is just normal tv only its better quality and yeah its free
