Just got a new 42" LCD TV for my room, and I'm not quite sure how to fulfill its HD goodness.
I have a simple Coax cable running to my TV normally.
Any way I can get HD picture without having an HD box?
Basically just HD cable.

Why don't you have HD cable or HD satellite?

I lol'd at myself.

You could pick up a HD Antennae. I got a standard one in my room for my TV and it still picks up some HD stations.

A HD one should do alot better.

Mind linking me to the one you have, or point me in the right direction?
Dunno where the hell to start with an antenna.

So why would you buy a 42" HDTV for your room when you can't get HD programming on it? I guess if you played your 360 on it that would be one reason.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I'm on vacation, and have nothing really to do at night.
My friends and I usually just watch some movies, and we have this old sh.tty tube TV.
I'm gonna bring it home once I come back too, so I'll have a nice new addition to my room.

Well I hate to break it to you but a sh.tty old tube TV looks better than a brand new HDTV if the source is standard def.
