FYI, you don't need cable or satellite to HDTV to receive digital TV. It is broadcast over the air.
It is free.
All you need is a tuner box, like the Hughes HTL-HD (available from eBay for about $50). It is a DirecTV tuner, but it is also a ATSC (digital TV) tuner, NTSC (analog) tuner and a cable tuner. The box will work without a DirecTV access card or dish. It has component, composite, S-video, DVI and VGA outputs.
See this O'Reilly Media article :

Digital TV is a significant improvement on analog cable, even when used on older TV sets. You don't need HDTV to get digital TV.
All I need is a new antenna and I'll be "TimeWarner free"...
