A standard television can be used with high definition service. However, the person purchasing the service would be paying for something of which they are not receiving the benefit .

HD ready tv with freeview built in and can't receive BBC HD or itv HD why not?

It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.

DirecTV is not a channel you can just tune in too. The company rents you a dish and the converter needed to access their service. Order HD service even if you don't have a HD set, on a good standard def. set, you can see the better picture quality.


Get HD Channels?

After you purchase a new Akai LED TV, make sure that you call your service provider and ask for the HD channels instead of the standard ones. These will cost more than the channels that you have now. However, you will be wasting the technology if you do not get the HD channels. If you have already paid to have a good TV, you should take full advantage of what it can do for you.
