Gotcha. So when you go for an HDTV make sure it comes with it's own
ATSC tuner. When you search for channels you will find digital
channels typically are on the x.x format.

My channel lineup looks like this, all are SD unless marked HD.

2 (ABC)
2.1 (ABC HD)
3 (the CW)
4 (TV Guide Channel)
5 (PAX / ION)
6 (CBS)
6.1 (CBS HD)
6.2 (I haven't figured out the purpose for this one, appears to be a
dupe of 6.1)
7 (Discovery channel)
8 (NBC)
8.1 (NBC HD)
8.2 (Local NBC weather channel)
9 (WGN)
10 (PBS)
10.1 (PBS HD)
10.2 (PBS Create)
10.3 (PBS local government)

The interesting thing is that 10 and 10.1 have unique programming.
It's not a simple matter of having an SD and HD version of the same
channel the way ABC, CBS and NBC are. Right now they overlap (showing
"Nature" in SD and HD) but at 9 PM Pacific the SD channel changes to
Mystery! while the HD channel becomes "Craft in America".

All of these channels were detected over my standard basic cable. I
don't have Comcast's digital package or anything like that. There are
more than I list here, I just thought the first 10 show what I'm
talking about.
