I've received several e-mails from viewers asking why they can't find Channel 9 -- or any station -- in High Def on their new flat screen LCD TV.
I'll explain why you may also not be able to see any High Def stations on your TV .... in todays edition of "HD 101."
It turns out many cheaper thin screen TV's sold the past 3 years are not really High Definition TV's. Instead, they're "HD-Ready TV's. There's a big difference.... because you don't really have an HD TV at all.
"HD Ready" means the screen is capable of showing a High Definition picture.
But you need a High Def cable tier, or a High Def DVD player to watch anything in HD. An antenna will NOT give you Channel 9 in HD.
Good news: "HD Ready" TV's are disappearing from store shelves... as the government requires all new TV's to be true High Def.
Spend a bit more for a true HD TV, so you Don't Waste Your Money. I'm John Matarese.
