  I plan on buying the new HP z555 with OTA HD support.  If I have Comcast
Digital Cable with HD support for local and premium channels like HBO, will I
see HD through my HP z555 since it does support HD at some level?  Guess I
don't want to spend $2,000 on a computer when I will not be watching HDTV
through it using its sweet interface.

 No. HD over cable is not yet supported in MCE 2005.

  You will get to watch the HD digital cable content, but it will be
down-converted to SD by your cable box
