All you need is for your cable company to come put in the HD receiver for you.. they'll supply the component cable and plug it in correctly... and you're good. The HD channels are usually different than the basic ones. For my cable service, my HD channels are in the 900 range, usually depending on what channel they are in the normal range. 902 (cbs2), 904 (nbc4), 907(abc7), 911(fox11), 928(kcet), 939(espn), and 961(hbo).
Also, don't listen to OshnSoul. There is a little button on your remote that says "Aspect" or "Wide" that will adjust the screen depending on what you're watching. The beauty of component cables is, you can watch regular TV in "Normal" aspect ratio, you'll have two bars on the sides of your screen, but everything will look normal, and when you switch to an HD channel, your TV will automatically switch to wide mode.
It annoys the hell out of me when people watch regular channels on their HDTV in wide mode. The fact that people don't know that there is a better way to do it annoys me even more.
