"* a HDTV set is capable of receiving HDTV transmissions without any special decoder box"

No, an HDTV set is capable of REPRODUCING the HDTV transmission fed to it via either HDTV satellite box or OTA digital tuner. But either or both of those outboard pieces of equipment are required. Some HDTV sets feature a built-in tuner, but most do not.
