| How do I get HDTV
To
receive HDTV in your home, you will need either an HD television with a built-in tuner to
receive off-air broadcasts (where available), or an HD monitor with an appropriate set-top
box for off-air, satellite or cable reception. Many people also connect their DVD players
and VCR’s to their HD set, as the resulting picture quality improvement can be
substantial.
For
off-air reception an antenna is required, either a simple indoor one if your home is near
to the broadcasting station, or an outdoor one, if you live further away. For satellite
reception, a dish antenna must be installed and pointed at the satellite.

assist in your selection and provides links to major Canadian suppliers of HDTV equipment.
