I have a 55 inch Sony TV, that is "HDTV Ready"...Do I need to buy a HDTV tuner to get HDTV? I di a little research on the net, which confuses me because it sais that if the tv is "HDTV ready" then you should be getting HDTV on the channels that are there automatically.
That is wrong, right? I mean I need to buy a HDTV tuner to get HDTV, correct?
Here is what I was looking to buy (if I need to buy one?)

Anything better for the price? |
HDTV Ready means that the TV is able to receive HDTV signals. But that doesn't mean you have an HDTV Tuner.
You need one with a Built-in HD tuner.
But even if you have a Built-in HD tuner. You need to be able to receive over the air HDTV signal in your area. Depending on your location, local TV stations are already broadcasting over the air HDTV signals.
If not, well, even if you have a Built-in HD tuner, you won't receive any HDTV signals. Then you will need to subscribe to a cable or satellite company and rent or buy an HDTV receiver to see the HDTV channels.
Oh an please, change your banner. It's giving me a headache.
