I am not a huge know-it-all technology person. I am getting my parents a new TV for x-mas and I have no clue what I need to get started. I'm buying it secondhand and therefore I don't have the instructions. Does anyone know?

First things first. Do they have cable,dish or air? Next if cable where do they live. Check to see if the cable comp. has a good HD package. If they don't then why get it. HDMI or COMPONENT are the two ways to connect HD from cable. (CABLE INSTALLER thats why I know) my cable comp. does not have a good package so I don't get it. If you have any other questions please ask

You need them to upgrade to HD signals.
Standard television looks crappy on a HD display because of the high-resolution display.
Your parents might be able to use an antenna. Type their address into Antennaweb and see. If so - look for the $30 Phillips Silver Sensor (classic).
