Nothing, if you have a QAM tuner in your HDTV. However, since you say
it is "HD Capable", I assume it does not. Therefore, you would probably
not be able to receive those channels just by plugging in the cable to
your TV. Don't forget that the cable company WANTS you to have a cable
box - they get to charge you for it, plus it opens up the world of VOD
(Video On Demand), which you also pay for. Thus, getting a cable box in
your house opens up revenue streams.
Check out AVSforum.com for both general information on HDTVs and HD
signals. There is probably a lengthy thread about the HD services in
your area.

I have an HD capable TV so it's without a converter if I understand
correctly? I was hoping I could do some recording in Myth with an
HD3000 then pass it to the TV for viewing, correct assumption?
So, if I don't need a cable box with QAM then what would prevent me
from plugging an HD television into the cable and avoid paying for HD
content? Unless your referring to those channels being broadcast in
HD, in the states CBS or NBC, etc? Which I would assume is similar to
OTA?
The programming below is offered by insight and I might be able to
answer my own question on HD content if I'm assuming correctly... The
channels below are bing broadcast in HD and located in the upper 500's
but you need a cable box to get those upper channels. Assuming I could
tune those channels in, I'm guesssing I would be able to watch the HD
content if I have an HD television?
This is from Insight...
MORE HDTV PROGRAMMING:
When you get HDTV from Insight, you automatically get Universal HD.
Plus, when you sign up for the HD Pak, you'll get:
ESPNHD
HDNet
HDNet Movies
Discovery HD Theater
Thanks for the info guys. I'm just trying to digest and get a
reference point to where I stand in relation to preparedness for HD.
