How do I get a high definition signal?

Interactive Guide: What Is HDTV?
At its most basic, you'll need an antenna and an off-air (8VSB) receiver, along with an HDTV compatible television. Many HDTV receivers are available, including standalone units, models combined with DSS receivers or even digital video recorders. Many High Definition televisions even come with compatible HDTV receivers built-in. The antenna you'll need depends on your specific location and could range from a small unit that sits on top of your television to a larger antenna mounted on a roof.

What programs are broadcast in high definition?

You can watch many of your favorite CBS shows and sporting events (including NFL football and UConn basketball) with crystal-clear digital pictures and better sound than that provided via analog signals.
Here's the current schedule of CBS primetime shows available in high definition:

WFSB Is Connecticut's First Choice For News

The new digital channel also affords WFSB-TV-DT more options for covering breaking news and big events without interrupting programs on Channel 3.

"Our mission is to bring people to the scene of what’s going on, to make them an eyewitness. We can put live extended coverage of events on Eyewitness News NOW," said Dana Luby Neves, WFSB news director.

When news breaks, and when big news events take place throughout the course of the day, Eyewitness News NOW will provide livestream video of the coverage from Eyewitness News.
