If i have a HighDef cable box(reciever) but i dont pay for HD channels or programming, will i still be able to watch the few shows that are in HD in HD?

example, I have an HD cabe box, but we dont pay for highdef cable, we jsut get basic, however this september the show survivor will be broadcasted in HD. Will i be able to watch this show in HD, or do i need to actually subscribe and pay monthly for HD?

(there are also a cople channels and shows that are HD all the time, will they be HD for me with the HD reciever even though i dont pay monthly for the HD?)

Yes it is possible. it depends upon your cable provider. Charter for instance offers channels abc,nbs,cbs,and fox free of charge. when you have a high def cable box.

no way

the HD channels are extra channels that are only available with the HD package.

Each channel that is available in HD has two channels .

one HD and one normal cable.

EX. ESPN is channel 29 on reg cable

ESPND (espn HD ) is channel 202

if you select channel 202 you will not be able to watch it

you will only be able to watch non HD cable

ps. u need a HDTV to watch HD also.

if you have an hd box legally you will be entitled to the broadcast basic stations in hd.

ie

abc hd

nbc hd

cbs hd

fox hd

the cable companies cannot put any form of encryption on them so they are "unscrambled"

you will not get espn tnt fx or a few others unless you upgrade your service to an hd tier.

NOPE, you gotta subscribe to an HD package because you'll more than likely also need a HD top set, and that will open access to those HD channels like ESPN HD, on Dish Network its 140(HD) or channel 9000 something...

Those channels your watching that claim to be HD may actually not be HD either. COuld be wrong, but the bottom line is your going to need to subscribe to a package w/ ur cable/satellite provider.
