Tony Woollett: This could suggest that the TV being referred to is one of the "HD ready" or "Full HD" variety and not necessarily a set fitted with a DVB-T2 tuner, this type of tuner being necessary for HD reception.
If you provide the brand / model number of the TV involved this can be checked out.
