  Depending on what you want, you may not have to.  FCC rules say that
the cable provider has to provide all the local broadcast signals at
no additional cost.  That includes digital and high-definition.

  When I got the CableCARD for my TiVo, there was no additional charge
unless I also wanted the cable channels (e.g., CNN, Discovery, ESPN)
in high-definition.
