Can I seize HD picture next to analog nouns?

I just bought a 50" Vizio, but haven't upgraded my cable nouns. Right now, I hold analog cable, and I know some local channels put out HD signal for free. Am I competent to receive this signal? How? Thanks


Answers:    Does your tv have a QAM tuner? If so.
1. Plug cable cable from wall directly into your tv
2. SCAN for channels
3. After scan, flip thru adjectives your stations. The QAM tuner may pick up your local HD stations. Note these channels usually own high numbers and decimal point. For example, the local HD QAM channel here are 46.1 104.1 106.1 106.3 114.1

Your other option is to hook an antenna up to your TV. If you are close to the broadcast towers, you may merely need a cheap rabbit ear antenna ($10 at Walmart or Best Buy).
1. Hook antenna into wager on of TV.
2. SCAN for channels
3. The HD stations hold odd numbers. For example, the analog nbc may be furrow 15... but the digital hd nbc would be 15.1 (or 15-1).

good luck
I dont deduce so.

You could put up a UHF antenna and have the TV scan for free Digital HD signals.

If your cable company collects the broadcast signals and puts it surrounded by the coax - your TV should be able to find it.

But cable companies want to charge you for their 'digital' service so I suspect they dont mix the free HD signals on the coax.

Try this: Go to antennaweb.org and type surrounded by your address. It will show you what stations in your nouns are digital and if you can use a simple indoor antenna.

If you can, try to find a "Phillips Silver Sensor" for about $30. Avoid "Turk" antennas.
