...If your viewing source is Over the Air then you have the choice of a simple digital converter box that uses a composite jack input or RF cable jack input. These are the boxes the government has been talking about, with the 40.00 vouchers ect...These will Not give you a HD signal, they will give you a Digital signal. To receive a HD signal you'll have to by a HD tuner from Samsung or the like for around 150.00 to 200.00. These boxes have Component and Toslink jacks that will allow for a true Hd signal.
Of course this is all moot if your viewing source is through Cable or satelite. Then you won't need a box at all.

Hope this helps.
