Am I correct in thinking that NONE of those on
http://www.google.co.uk/products?hl=...ed=0CB4QrQQwAA
will actually receive HD content when it starts next year?

No, they won't. Actually Crystal Palace and Winter Hill started HD
broadcasts this week.

I believe that is the case. In those descriptions "HD" simply means that
the box has an HDMI output providing upscaled SD.

However, the time when boxes will have tuners capable of receiving "HD
Freeview" is getting closer and closer.

But don't get too excited because some places will have to wait untill 2012
before HD broadcast start - like here on the south coast.

HD is also used to mean Hard Drive/Disk. Beware

Yes, although that ought to be HDD.

Can I sell anyone an HD HDD?

I think the answer is this. They can resolve HD, and record hd, but not
actually receive it using the freeview tuners and hardware fitted. They
would need another box to do so.

Vestel and Pace have prototype STBs, (don't know about PVRs though) and Sony
and Panny prototype TV sets.
