What is the difference between "HD-READY" and "HD-CAPABLE" TV'S?

Today's HDTV sets come in two forms, HD-Ready and HD-Capable. HD-Ready sets have a HDTV receiver/decoder built-in, while HD-Capable sets simply act as a monitor and require the addition of an external receiver/decoder to receive high-definition signals. Since most HD-Ready sets only include receivers for off-air broadcasts (i.e. signals that are received using an antenna), you will still need a separate HD converter to view HD programs on GCI Cable. While most satellite services typically require you to purchase a separate HD receiver, we will allow you to lease the receiver as part of your monthly service.
