in fact most CRT based projection units do not. They are HDTV (720p or 1080i ready but have only analog tuners.

Does he have HDMI connections on the back of the set? These were rare too prior to 2005. There are often DVI connections, however.

Circut City sells a non $40 coupon true HDTV tuner from SAmsung currently for $100
The $40 coupon tuners are not HDTV and output only a compositte video or RF signal at 480p

here is a link to the CC tuner
