That being said, if I buy a High Definition receiver, will it pick-up the cable companies HDTV signals? And will the HD receiver also pick-up the cable companies digital channels as well?
I do not wish to 'rent' a HD cable box and dont care about the pay movie channels, but do wish to retain all my digital channels I am paying for as well as the HD programming offered by the cable company.
I just think it is ludacris to pay 'rental' fees on a cable box and an additional carge for the remote.
Also, looking at HD receivers, (ebay) most all say something like 'comes with a p4 card' or p3 or p5. What is a p4 or whatever card for and what does it do and is it needed? I think it has to do with satellite tv?
Any responses are greatly appreciated.
