1. Checking ATSC Tuner Availability
Determine If your TV has a built in ATSC. If you have a first generation HD ready tv most likely you don't have a ATSC tuner, if this is the case you will need a Digital Convert box. Look on the back of your TV for a port saying ATSC or Antenna. If your Television isn't High Definition you will need a Digital Convert box:http://www.worldwidesatellites.com/ota-over-the-air-tv-digital-converter-box-c-35_126.html.
