Summat on the news about that a short while back,even HD TVs with HD Tuners may still need another set top box to get HD Freeview off air,posted about it at the time,I dont understand why or if it is true for all HD TVs.
The new TVs with an
integrated Freeview HD receiver do
not require an additional set-top box to receive terrestrial HD TV transmissions. The earlier "HD Ready" TVs are capable of displaying HD quality via an HDMI input, but also require a suitable set top box to receive the HD signals.
