Answer 1

Make sure everything is plugged in right. Use that HD tuner, and you should get some decent over-the-air digital television. Do you have an antenna? I think you still need that, because the tuner needs a source.

Answer 2

If you don't have digital cable, your new TV is no better than your old analog set - so you aren't able to enjoy HD programming. It seems you have 2 choices: Choice 1 - get the HD digital cable package from the cable company (they will supply either a set top box, or cable card if your set has that capability), or choice 2, get an antenna (and I don't think we are talking rabbit ears here), which will allow you to get over the air digital from the local stations that you can receive. Check these out at one of the electronics stores in the area.

Good luck

Answer 3

1. If you are pluging in something with normal cables, you will get normal quality.

2. Make sure you are using the right TV tuner.

You HAVE to get digital cables...
