    I have a question between HD Ready and HDTV, originally I was thinkg the image quality of a HD Ready will be equal to HDTV after a HD turner/receiver was installed. However, my local cable tv provider (Charter) told me that HD Ready boots at max 60% of the quality as the HDTV and an HDTV and HD Ready are ready to go with the cable provider's HD receiver. Is that true?
