Cynically, who wants to guess what proportion of "HD Ready" TV owners a) think they're already watching HD content on Freeview, b) understand what "HD Ready" means, and c) bought from those clever DSG staff who could answer b)? A small gripe, even back in 2005, but the older "HD Ready" standard didn't require the TV to be able to display even a native 720p frame without horizontal scaling. More importantly for the content producers, it did have to support HDCP...
