Comcast probably offers the most HD channels, You can check with your local provider, and ask if you can just get an HD package, without buying the works.

Several points of interest:
If you get comcast, they have to give you your local HD channels, apon request, either free or a minimal fee for the cable box(if your set has QAM tuner, no box needed).
If you don't have one, you can get an OTA antenna-in most metropolitan areas, you'll pick up a dozen or so digital/HD channels-the picture will be better than any of the options listed in the title.
There is no 1080p broadcasting.
