HDTV purchase questions?

Question

I'm buying an hdtv and i was wondering if once i get it , will i need anything extra in order to watch tv/play games?

NOTE:i don't have cable or anything like that.

Also, if i get an hdtv with a built in digital tuner, will i still have to buy a converter box, or anything else, to watch tv.

Answer 1

If you want to watch HDTV you will need to get a HD box from the cable co or sat. co, and no you don't need a converter box.I like Derrect TV duel tunner HD box About 60.00 mo. you can get a deal at Cosco

Answer 2

most towns/cities have some form of hdtv television broadcast you can watch as long as you have a built in tuner

you may need an antenna or rabbit ears depending on your signal strength

no you will not need a converter box if you have built in hdtv

you may need cables depending on what your video game system supports and the jacks on the back of your television
