Charlie,
I think by 2009 all TVs will be required to have tuners capable of receiving the digital transmission from stations. Right now most of the HDTV monitors have digital input through the video jacks but they still have normal analog tuners. That will go away so to be qualified as a DTV it will have to have the new digital tuner. A few TVs offer the digital tuner. You can buy a digital HDTV tuners right now from Walmart.
