CBS is advertising that the Masters will be broadcast in HDTV "where available". Where exactly would that be? I recently purchased an HDTV-ready TV, but was under the impression that I wouldn't be enjoying HDTV anytime soon.Sorry if this is an ignorant question.
As Victor suggested, you'll need a 'hdtv tuner' to obtain the high definition tuner. But, folks in Seattle and other parts of the country have had local stations broadcasting tons of high definition programming for over a year now. All the Monday Night Football Broadcasts were in high definition last year.Also, DishNetwork, DirectTV began transmitting (limited) HBO HDTV programs via satellite broadcasts last year.
Enjoy!

You will need a good UHF antenna and a set-top box, of course. It seems, however, that now is not a good time to buy such box - wait for the new generation to appear soon.
You will need to figure out the locations of transmitters and their channels - these will most likely be some of the previously unoccupied UHF ones. If you are within say, 20 miles or so, you have a good shot. Sometimes you can receive as far as 50 miles or so, but that really depends on the landscape around you.
