Put simply, an HD Ready TV contains copyright protection software, that is used to decode protected content, such as Movies. WIthout this software, you will be able to watch unprotected content, but won't be able to watch protected content.
All HD Ready TVs also have DVI sockets and/or HDMI sockets as well. DVI has the advantage that it is easy to attach to PCs. HDMI has the advantage that it uses a smaller plug, and carries digital audio as well. The downside of HDMI is that very few PCs have HDMI sockets.
