It was TVs marked with things like "HDTV Ready" that you had to be wary of.
So was the only difference between an HDTV Ready TV and an HD TV that an external box was needed to obtain the HD signals for the TV ie it only had an SD Freeview tuner?

If so, these would have been fine for VM customers as all they really needed was an HD source to obtain the HD signals which is provided by their STB?
