HDTeleVision Review

What is the difference between an HDTV and a HD Ready TV? for starters, you don’t have to buy a tuner because this is already built into the unit. You just need to get an antenna and then connect this to the HDTV’s F connector.

If signal is coming through cable, you still need to get the set up box. If you happen to have a CableCARD, you don’t need to buy or borrow the set-top box. To use this, your unit must have a CableCARD slot and of course the card.

Newer models of HDTV’s have built-in slots where you can just insert the CableCARD, which are as big as your credit card.

When you connect the box to the TV, make sure you know which format is being used. There are two types namely 720p and 1080i and knowing what you have will make it easier to match the HDTV’s output. Through satellite, you will need a HDTV decoder or IRD, as well as a satellite dish.

So is it worth buying an HD Ready TV? The answer is no after comparing the HD Ready TV and the HDTV. The HDTV is easier to work with compared to the first one so think twice before you decide to buy a new television And For those who are not too confident about setting up the HD Ready TV, you can always ask the help of a professional to do the job for you.
