-Antenna

Through an antenna, you can watch any HDTV programs

that are broadcast in your area without paying fees.

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

Broadcasters are currently transitioning 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 jack at the bottom of the TV. See page 14 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 available on cable systems, often at a lower price. To view these channels, you’ll need to install a small dish antenna outside your home.

The two main DBS systems, DirecTV and DishNetwork, 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 the are in rural areas or other areas not passed by a cable line.

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