• Answer:

  Actually, you can do a couple things: 1. If your tv has an HD tuner in it (it will tell you in the manual or on the box if it does) make sure you you have an antenna connected to that input and you will get a few channels. How many you get depends on how close you are to all the various antennas that broadcast the OTA (over the air) HD in your area. 2. If your tv doesn't have an HD tuner built in, you can buy an external for $25-50 at many stores like Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, Radio Shack, and even small local electronics stores have these. This tuner will have instructions on how to set it up but they are pretty easy. You will be getting the same limited "free" OTA channels I mentioned above with this type of tuner. 3. You can contact your local cable/satellite company and talk to them about their HD offerings. This will be the most expensive for sure, but you will also get many more HD channels depending on the package you choose. You will need a special HD cable box though, the company will be more than happy to tell you all about it. Like the first answer said though, if all you have access to is standard definition channels/signal, you can't make those look HD. Basically what you are doing is taking a signal that was meant for about 400 lines on your old tube tv, and stretching those out across the 720 or 1080 lines of your new tv. That's why it looks so fuzzy. Not much you can do but get a better signal with one of the ways I mentioned. Good Luck.
