They are just plain UHF aerials like the old UHF SKY ones (you can use these as well). Don't know about HD dates but would suspect on the launch date.

Just make sure you have a set-top box that does MPEG4 for HD as none currently do.

596301 2007-10-01 18:26:00 Or worse. Those people being sucked in by the Warehouse ads for large screen TVs that are "HD ready" but only have a 480 panel..

What specs should it be?
Does the 480 panel mean that the screen will produce HD but not true high resolution of HD?

It means that it will only show SD regardless of what you put into it. A panel needs to be 720P or better to be considered to be a HD TV unless you live on Ozz where 576P is considered HD by some networks..
