Cable One charges $10/month for HD. They don't give the HD locals away at all so that argument is invalid.
The local HD channels are included in your basic cable, you just have to have an HD tuner
The $10 a month is for the 'HD tier' which includes the cable channels like discovery hd or whatever.
Cableone would love you to think that you need the DVR to get the HD channels (in fact some people i know have actually been told that), but thats not true.
The dvr does function as an HD tuner, but If your TV has an HD tuner built in you can get the locals in HD and some other channels with your regular subscription, mine doesn't have a built in HD tuner so I use antenna, but my friend tony's TV does and it automatically adds the HD channels to the list, no extra cost.
They'd love you to get that DVR and the $10 HD tier tho
