I need HD-TV help!!!

[DynamiteRave]

I'm also trying to get a LCD HDTV but unlike all you ritzy guys here, I'm a poor college student making a little more than minimum wage and I'm not trying to get a big-screen. Just something to fit in my room something between 30-40in. And I'm not looking to pay more than $700-$800. Just something I can play my video games and watch the Skins on.

My grandmother only has basic Cable which is basically broadcast stations and your other regular standbys, (USA, TNT, etc). Would I be able to get the regular over the air HD programming like prime time TV, sporting events and my video games with a TV that has HD already built in? Or do I have to do something special?

As long as the TV you buy has a digital tuner. I just bought a Sony Wega 34" HDTV (200lb monster) and it tuned in 23 digital channels.

By the way, if anyone can deal with the size and weight don't discount CRT tv's just yet, I put my 42" LCD next to my 34" tube tv and put them both on FoxHD (baseball game), the tube still looks better. Not to mention it was half the price. Viva la CRT!!!
