qubo on DTV Quick Steps

You will need an over-the-air receiver (some DTV's now have this built in), and an over-the-air antenna to watch qubo. These can be purchased at retail stores like Best Buy, Circuit City or Radio Shack. There are also several excellent online sources for state-of-the-art receivers and antennas.

If you own (or are considering a purchase of) an HDTV Monitor or "HDTV Ready" Monitor, you should purchase a HDTV/DTV Broadcast Receiver and over-the-air antenna.

If you own (or are considering a purchase of) an "Integrated DTV/HDTV" or "HDTV with Tuner" you should purchase an over-the-air antenna.

As time goes on more DTV sets in stores will be "Integrated DTV/HDTV". Beginning in 2006, all digital televisions sold will need to be "Integrated" (a Digital TV with a built in receiver).

Note that some retailers and manufacturers have created confusion by not clearly identifying the difference between HDTV monitors (no tuner included, designed to be used with a set-top box) and Integrated DT/HDTVs (tuner included, no set-top box required for viewing over the air signals).

If you are not yet considering a purchase of a DTV/HDTV set, you should purchase a DTV Broadcast Receiver and over-the-air antenna for your analog TV set.

To find out what type of antenna you will need, you can visit the following website, enter your zip code and enter the station you will be watching: www.antennaweb.org*

It is our recommendation if you are purchasing an indoor antenna that you purchase an "amplified antenna" (one that plugs into the wall) with as much "gain" as possible (at least 40Db).

If you already have a Digital Television (HDTV, EDTV, SDTV):

1. Check to see if you are serviced by a DTV Station carrying qubo.
2. Check to see if your Digital Television has a broadcast tuner (aka "integrated").
3. Visit Antennaweb.org for an antenna recommendation.*
4. Purchase the necessary antenna and receiver (if applicable).
5. Install your new equipment** and enjoy qubo any time of day.

If you do not own a Digital Television (and do not plan on purchasing a new DTV set):

1. Check to see if you are serviced by a DTV Station carrying qubo.
2. Visit Antennaweb.org for an antenna recommendation.*
3. Purchase the necessary antenna and HDTV/DTV receiver.
4. Install your new equipment** and enjoy qubo any time of day.

*Antennaweb.org makes recommendations for outdoor antennas, you may be able to watch the qubo Network using an indoor antenna.

**Since each home's video set-up and TV reception is different we cannot provide specific installation steps. A local electronics retailer should be able to provide information or assistance on this.
