Will HD ever be free?

Question

I know that broadcasting companies in the united states are on a timeline to get regular tv into high definition. I pay out the wazoo for satelite..and have never had HD on my TV, and frankly don't want to have to pay for it!!!! I love the picture, and my TV is HD capable....I just think its a sham and was wondering if HD satelite or cable will be free one of these days?

Answer 1

Um, local HD is free.  All you need is a TV with an ATSC HD tuner and a proper antenna.

You'll only get the terrestrial HD (local) stations not Discovery Channel, ESPN, etc.

Answer 2

For what they are making off of it I don't believe you will. That would be like them shooting the cash cow.

Answer 3

if u have time warner cable its free but u only get about 20-25 HD channels
