How to Install Local Channels on HDTV
Although obtaining the hundreds of HD television channels from your cable or satellite provider typically costs an extra $10 a month, an HD antenna is all you need to get local stations in HD. This typically includes FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS, without the monthly fee.
