Don't you rent the set top box from your cable provider?

Digital doesn't necessarily equal HD when dealing with providers so look at the specs carefully.

In the UK you can either get a set top box from your cable or satellite provider as part of the subscription, or there are various 'Freeview HD' subscription free channels for which you can just simply buy a suitable set top box and then pay nothing further. I'm not sure what the situation is in India where the original poster is from...

But you can bet the boxes are programmed using Turbo C....
