Depends on your provider.
If you've already got cable or satellite then you're good up to that point.
If you've got a cable box, some providers give a free upgrade to an HD cable box, some don't. The cable box might run $5-10/month if you didn't have the box already.
At this point you might have to spend $5-10 more for a 'digital tier' of some kind. This is a bunch of channels and the music channels and the ability to get ppvs.
Then you might have $5-10 more for a special 'hd package' (for me that includes HDNet, HDNet Movies, TNT HD, Universal HD, Mojo HD, local channels in HD, some Discovery channels in HD).
I opt (completely optional) to get a dual tuner HD DVR (especially good with the Dream cards being aired live in Japan way passed my bedtime). This runs me about $8/month.
My complete cable bill is $88/month (that includes a 2x speed Road Runner modem on top of basic cable, plus all the fixings). HDNet is a pretty small slice of that pie.
