By July 2004, all HDTVs [larger than 36 in] should include HD Tuner.

I hope this doesn't end up like cable-ready tv's, with cable companies moving most of their line-up to the encrypted channels, leaving so called "cable-ready tv's" capable of tunning only QSV . . . .

Today every tv comes with a cable tuner and still most cable subscribers uses a cable box :-(

You know, I never thought about that. For scrambled [premium] HD channels. the consumer will need some type of a box.

We may be back to square one in this issue
