Total Newbie on WOW HDTV

Sorry for these stupid questions, but I thought this would be the best place to get "honest " answers. I got approval from my parents to purchase a HDTV once I get some answers.

1. What exactly do I need to get HDTV from WOW ?

2. Will all of my TVs work on the cable or do I need a HD receiver for each TV in my house ?

Thanks everyone. All responses will be greatly appreciated.

1. You will need, and depending on your choice, either a CableCard, HDTV receiver or HD DVR from WOW. The CableCard won't give you access to VOD, so bear that in mind. If you don't want any of it, then that's the easiest option.

2. Yes, they'll all work just like they do now.

You do not need to subscribe to an HD package to receive most of of the HD channels. You only need a HD/HD-DVR box or CableCard as imrf stated. You should also be able to receive local HD channels if the TV has a QAM tuner.
