  You need a STB to tune in to HD5.
  However,its quite exp and its currently priced at $500+ outside(Harvey Norman).
  Not much stores sell it too btw...
  
  Are u interested in getting a <1 yr 2nd hand set instead?

  Oh it depend on your TV model,if yours comes with a integrated digital tuner(such as Samsung's IDTV M8 series) then u do not need a STB since the digital tuner will itself tune to HD5 and hence do away with a seperate STB.
