Do I need a high definition (HD)TV set to get KQEDs Digital Channels through Comcast cable?
• No, the bulk of KQED’s digital programming is standard definition. Comcast channels 189-192 (KQED Life, World, V-Me and Kids) are available via Comcast’s regular digital cable service and can be seen on a regular analog TV set. However, you do need a high definition television set if you want to experience our HD programs at maximum quality. KQED HD (Comcast channel 709) is only available if you get a special HD upgrade. For maximum picture and sound quality you also need an HDTV set.
