How Can I Watch The Super Bowl On CBS 2 In HD?
(CBS)
To watch the Bears play in Super Bowl XLI in high definition on CBS 2 Chicago, you have three choices:
1. Over The Air With A Standard Antenna• WBBM-DT, CBS 2's high-definition channel, is available free of charge by simply connecting an HD television set to a properly sized antenna. The key word here is "properly sized." CBS 2 highly discourages the use of attic antennas and portable indoor antennas, including old-fashioned "rabbit ears." If you have been using a roof-mounted antenna for standard definition television, you are all ready to get HD. When connected properly, your channel display will indicate that you are watching channel 2.1.
• Some early HDTVs were sold as "HD-ready." To receive CBS 2's HD signal on one of these sets you will have to purchase an HDTV set-top box, which will then be connected to your television. These are available at any local retailer where HD sets are sold. With a set-top box and an HD ready television set, you'll be ready on game day.
2. Cable• The Chicago market is served by multiple cable systems: Comcast, Wide Open West and RCN. Each vendor has CBS 2 available in HD as part of a package. Please contact your local cable provider for information about HD delivery. Please note that in some cases it may require a cable box upgrade.
3. Home Satellite Dish • Both DirecTV and Dish Network have CBS 2 available in HD. This service is also part of a package and may require additional equipment.
To help you out with all of this, CBS 2 has established an HD hotline: 312-202-2375. Please leave a specific message and a CBS 2 engineer will call you back as soon as possible. CBS 2 will even have engineers available on Super Bowl Sunday for any last minute questions.
