We get all 4 major local TV stations from Orlando in HD. For instance, channel 9 comes in on 9, with a lousy picture and on channel 9.1 with a HD picture. The same is true for NBC, CBS and Fox, plus we receive several other channels in HD. All I did was plug the TV into a power outlet, the cable into the cable outlet and I did a channel search. It's perfect for the kitchen as I wanted it mainly to watch the news in high def.
If you can still get channels above 22, then consider yourself fortunate. We have 2 HD boxes and had to get 2 converters for other sets even though they are LCD sets.
