Hey guys I just got a new 1080p lg 42 inch hdtv yesterday as a late christmas present , and I was wondering I have cox cable basic right now do cardinal and suns games come in hdtv already with basic or do I have to upgrade? I already have cox highspeed internet and I don't want to buy the bundle I just want to know what if anything I need to get from cox to make suns and cardinal games hd? Thanks

I think u'll need to have another cable box from them. and yes you'll need to pay more

If your TV has an internal HD tuner then you will get the games that come on network TV in HD. All you need is a HD antenna and then run your auto program. It should find channels like 5.1 and 10.1 which are the HD version of 5 and 10. Try to auto program without the antenna and see if you get them anyways, maybe you might not need the antenna.

I have the service from COX. You will need to upgrade your service and get an HD box. The channels are in the 700 range. Any games that are broadcast on Fox, NBC, CBS, Fox AZ, TNT, etc have a corresponding HD channel. For example, Fox is 10 and the HD is 710. NBC is 12 and HD is 712. Just tune in and enjoy. Once you get your service.

If you live in the Phoenix broadcast area you could probably buy a HD antenna and get it that way. There is probably some threads on ASFN you could search for to get more info.

Just unbend a paper clip and stick in in the hole of the cable jack and you will probably be able to get the over the air (local) HD channels

yes its in there

with a basic cox cable subscritpion (analog) no box is required if your tv supports QAMM; which even my old mitsubish 65 inch rear projection does. Just do a scan..they are hard to find but for me cox is 071.1 and nbc is 071.2 ---cbs is 073.02 etc...

with newer TV's (newer HD tuner) they may be on more useable stations like 5.1, 10.1, etc..

Or you can get over the air - if your close enough to south mountain...I am 50 miles from south mountain and watch all my local channels in HD over basic cable.
