Basic Cable vs. HD Cable, and my Tivo...

Tim Halberg New member Username: Turtlehead Santa Barbara, CA USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-08	Posted on Monday, March 03, 2008 - 05:17 GMT Alright, we have a 52" Panasonic HD tv. We just ordered basic/standard cable. I'm surprised just how bad this looks on this tv. Would HD cable make any difference for standard programming? And then, to top if off, I've got two years left on my Tivo account. My understanding is that my Tivo account doesn't even do HD? Any thoughts or suggestions on my best options for getting the best quality programming. Will HD cable give me better quality on my regular programming ie: ABC and such? Thanks!

Go to antennaweb.org and see if there are HD channels in your area and what size antenna you need to receive them.
