Hd tv no tv antenna connection , will a HD box solve the problem?

Question

I have bought a HD monitor rather than a HD TV and so it does not have a normal TV antenna connection. If I buy a HD box from my TV providor will I be able to get all the channels through the box only ? Also, is there a connection I can but for a TV antenna to HD plug so I don't have to buy the HD box ?

Answer 1

You must BUY some sort of TV tuner.  

The HD box from the cable company is one way to do it.  It will convert cable TV to an output the monitor can use.

You can get a digital converter box with component output is another way.  

Or check the monitor manufacturers web site to see if they offer an external tuner for the monitor.
