It doesn't have to be flat screen to HD ready, but you do need an HD receiver. Whether you have cable, satelite, or you want to get it free from the local stations, you have to have a receiver (so much for free) If you have cable or satelite, contact your provider they will help you get set up and even send some one out to install it for you, if you just want it from the local "free" stations, you can pick up a receiver at places like Best Buy.
