What does HDTV-Ready mean?
HDTV-Ready Television does not have the ATSC / DTV tuner to receive HD signals. Std TV uses NTSC tuner. So, if you buy a HDTV-Ready TV to receive HD Channels over the AIR, you will not be able to because it does not have the Tuner to do the conversion job. You need to either buy the ATSC / DTV Tuner or rent a HD Cable Ready box from Cable company. To avoid hassle, buy a HDTV NOT HDTV-Ready.
