HD TV
9 Answers
Could someone clarify something for me please.
If I have an HD TV I need to be using something like an HD Freeview box and HD cable to actually be viewing HD don't I?
I won't just be getting HD through the normal digital aerial?

If this logo is present

your TV set has an HD tuner built into it and you don't require any additional equipment.
If only this logo is shown

then your set is simply 'HD ready'. That means that it can display an HD signal from an external soure, such as a Blu-Ray disk player, a Sky HD box or a Freeview HD set-top box, but it doesn't have its own HD tuner built into it.

ejayjay - no you are not.
I used to have Sky HD and whilst initially it was fairly impressive (particularly BBC HD) they soon turned up the compression to aid broadcasting.
I now watch only in SD and have to say I don't miss HD or Sky one little bit.
HD is far more impressive in Blu Ray or downloaded format as the compression is far less.
