HDTV ready usually means that it's capable of recieving an HD signal. However, cable companies have to provide HD users with a particular cable box that includes and HD reciever. Otherwise, you'd have to buy an HD reciever and the basic cable box. I use Time Warner here in Houston with my 36" HDTV. I have a different digital cable box than my parents, because mine includes the HD reciever (small attachment on the back of the box) so I can pickup the 10 HD channels the company offers. I personally think it's well worth the money. My digital cable package is the same as any other, I only pay an addition $5 a month to rent the HD cable reciever. Even though it's only 10 channels, the quality is so much better than typical broadcast that I can't go back. I have to watch the HD channels.
