I'll keep this very short. I have a new (and my first) HDTV, a Sony Bravia 40". I don't know if the TV has a built in tuner.
What I want to do is receive over the air HD channels that will look good on my TV, the digital signal that I get from Comcast looks blurry/grainy. I do not want to pay for HD because I don't watch much regular TV, but I do want to have whichever channels are available display nicely on my new TV.
Questions:
1. How do I find out if my TV has a built in tuner (it's not listed on the specs anywhere online)
2. Do I need an HD antenna regardless if it has a tuner-do I need to purchase anything else like an amplifier
3. If the HD antenna does not connect via HDMI but with coaxial cable, then how is it HD?
I live in a major city, that is flat and do have towers nearby (less than 35 miles). I know I can get enough channels to keep me happy but I'm not exactly sure how to do this.
