Where did WOSU HD, WOSU Plus, and WOSU Ohio come from?
WOSU's conversion to digital television has allowed us to begin multicasting. This means we can now broadcast multiple channels and programs simultaneously over a single digital connection, such as Time Warner Digital Cable.
How do I get WOSU HD, WOSU Plus, and WOSU Ohio?
At this time, these channels are only available to digital cable customers and satellite television. Existing cable customers need to upgrade their service to digital cable to receive these new channels. More...
How do I get WOSU HD?
WOSU HD is only available to digital cable customers with high-definition-ready televisions who are equipped with a high-definition set-top cable box. In addition, those with high-definition televisions and digital receivers capable of watching WOSUHD over-the-air on channel 34 can receive WOSU HD. Existing digital cable customers with HD-ready televisions can exchange their current set-top box for the high-definition model. Contact your digital cable provider for more information.

You can receive WOSUTV/DT two ways: over the air and through cable. Remember that in order to experience the enhanced picture and sound quality you desire, you need a digital TV set. Several retailers sell these sets ranging in price from $1000 and more. To learn more about shopping for a digital television, visit our Digital Buyer's Guide.
Over the Air
Just like regular TV, WOSUTV/DT can be received using an antenna. Depending on where you live, you will be able to use a set-top antenna. If you live in an area that experiences bad reception for regular television, you may need an outdoor rooftop or attic-mounted antenna. The only way to find out is to experiment. Digital signals can be quirky. Your neighbor may have a perfect signal, and yet you may receive no signal at all.
Cable
WOSU has negotiated with Central Ohio area cable companies to carry digital carriage. Several options may serve your needs: (1) a digital upgrade supplying a special set-top box allowing you to receive all WOSUTV/DT standard-definition programs; or (2) a special HDTV Digital set-top box possessing an output connection for a HDTV set, allowing you to see high-definition and multicast programming from WOSUTV/DT without an antenna.
Satellite
Presently none of the satellite services carry WOSUTV/DT stations.
