Freeview HD on my HDTV?

[admin_exported]

I don't know if this is a stupid question but here goes nothing. If i buy a new Full HD TV (50" Panasonic PZ700 or 50" Pioneer PDP LX50..) with freeview decoder built in, will i be able to get HD reception when freeview goes HD or will i have to buy a new freeview HD decoder when it comes out?

You'll have to buy a new decoder

The upshot of it seems to be that you'll need a DVB-T2 receiver able to handle MPEG4 and output HD. Not sure if any TV manufacturers are building in such a device yet, but I am sure if an when the Ofcom proposals become more real, such sets will appear.
