-Antenna

Via antenna you can watch whatever DTV programs being broadcast in your area for free.

If you’re not sure what HDTV programming is available in your area, contact your local content provider or your local electronics store retailer.

Broadcasters are in the middle of a transition from analog to digital TV. This means that a given broadcaster will have two channels on the air, one analog and one digital.

Connect the incoming antenna signal to the CABLE/ANTENNA 75 Ω x jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 10 for details on using Autoprogram to store channels in the TV’s memory.

Note:This connection will supply stereo sound to the TV if it is being broadcast by the station you are watching.

-Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS)

Satellite systems offer many of the same premium channels as cable systems, and often at a lower price. To get these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside.

There are 2 main DBS systems: DirecTV & DishNetwork. These systems require separate, proprietary set top receiver boxes to decode their signals and send them to your digital TV set. These boxes may include a digital TV tuner for off-air DTV broadcasts.

Satellite broadcasters also provide major local channels, depending on the market in which you live.

DBS also provides service in areas not covered by cable because they are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.

DBS also allows you to watch pay-per-view events.

“Before installing your TV or before hanging it on the wall, first connect your accessory devices, see p. 29.
