How Do I Purchase Programming for My AKAI Projection TV?

To begin, you will need to find a service agent that is licensed to transmit signals that are compatible with your AKAI Projection TV.  Typically, cable companies and satellite dish providers offer this type of programming.  As may be expected, the price for these services will vary widely depending on the quality of signal that you choose.  Unfortunately, you will not be able to simply hook up an antenna to your new TV and tune into the nearest local station.  On the other hand, you should still be able to hook the TV up to your DVD player or VCR.  That said, before purchasing a new TV, it would be best to know all of the programming costs associated with owning it.
