Q&A 4. Can I connect my DTV set-top receiver to my cable TV service? Cable TV systems use a different method for transmitting digital TV programs that is currently incompatible with broadcast DTV set-top receivers. So you will still need to use an outdoor or indoor antenna to receive OTA broadcast DTV programs. The good news is that you won't have to pay a monthly or per-program charge to watch OTA DTV and HDTV programs. They're free, unlike subscription satellite TV or premium cable TV. All you need is an antenna and a DTV set-top receiver to enjoy clear, sharp widescreen images and high-quality audio. 4 DIGITAL TV GUIDE
