I recently purchased a Panasonic Tau Flat Screen 36 inch HD ready Tube TV. I've got AT&T Broadband Digital Cable coming in for all my services (Phone, Internet, TV). Of course Digital Cable isn't really Digital TV..

Anyway - I'm thinking of getting an HD Receiver and I'm wondering what might be the best way to go. Should I consider another service (like DirectTV) to go along with cable ? Should I simply set up an antenna and pull just local stations HD signals from the airwaves? Which receiver is best the deal for what you get (heard RCA has a good one..)? How do I find out what stations (local and national) broadcast what programs in HD..?

As you can see, I'm pretty much a novice and I am still, despite lots of research, not exactly sure the best way to gain access to HD programming..

Thanks in advance for any help...
