Answer 3

You need hdmi cables for your hdtv. About $30-$50, but unfortunately you cannot experience hd channels, hd movies without them. Contact Comcast to find out how subscribe to hd channels.

Answer 4

If you want HD channels you will have to upgrade to HD service. So yes you will have to switch your plan to one that includes HD.

OR ... if you are close enough to local broadcasters you can use an HDTV antenna.

But this will only give you the local stations. If you want ESPN HD or Discovery HD you will have to subscribe.
