I don't think that most Tv's for the last 10 years have been digital ready. The number of channels it can tune to is a different thing , they where (are) still analogue channels.

I'd say it only in the last year or so that most Tv's are digital ready.

>>More than 10 months old would be more accurate, since digital tuner inclusion in TV manufacture was mandated by March 1, 2007. There are still analog sets on the shelves from what I gather.
