Default How do I get those HDTV channels

Hi,

I have Cablevision (New York, Westchester County) and my SOny Bravia
TV can get HDTV channels. However they seem to be in the 84.XXXX and
110.XXX ranges. I also get NON HDTV channels at the usual chanels
2,3,4 etc. up to about 74.

What confuses me is that say I want to watch House on HD. I do not tue
to channel 5 (FOX) but some other channel. In cablevision world it is
channel 705. But on my Bravia it is like 98.XXX or something. Finding
the HD TV channels is like a real challenge.

Am I missing something here, or is it always this difficult with HD
tv ....

Best, Mike.



Here, Comcast charges extra for HD. I bought an HD antennae for 1/3
the cost of a month's cable bill and get all the local HD signals. It
all depends on your location and the broadcast. For those programs on
Lionsgate or Showtime, I rent DVDs and get HD from there. Most of the
time I get news and weather from the Internet or radio. Although I
can afford it, Comcast is way overpriced for what I can get.
