If you:

• want to enjoy more than just the limited terrestrial digital television programming offerings that you can get for free by connecting an outdoor or indoor HDTV antenna to the back of your high definition TV,

• are underwhelmed by the selection and/or sound/video quality of the streaming multimedia apps you are getting through your network-connected Blu-ray Disc player or gaming console, or

• are setting up a home theater projector (which lacks a TV tuner),

it might be time
for another box.

Depending upon where in the USA you live and your budget, here are some of the possibilities:

• DIRECTV and DISH Network each offer tons of HD TV programming available via a dish antenna aimed at satellites orbiting in space, a DIRECTV HDTV tuner box or DVR, and a programming package. Pay per view and on demand movies and special televised events are also available.

• Subscribe to an HD programming package from your local digital cable company. The line running to your home is connected to a cable tuner box that you lease on your monthly cable bill, or you can connect a TiVo DVR.

• Take advantage of your high-speed Internet connection to access an ever growing library of streaming possibilities from a Boxee box or Roku media player. Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi required.

You will need to connect your HD tuner to one of the HDMI inputs on your home theater receiver with an HDMI cable.
