Nick Smith was in San Ramon to help us learn more about high definition TV. Here is how to get the most out of your TV.
You need three things for HD TV:
- HD-compatible TV
- HD-compatible receiver
- Tune to HD channels. HD channels are different from ordinary channels. If you are used to watching "View from the Bay" on ABC channel 7, you can find ABC 7 in HD on Comcast channel 707.
