What's needed for HDTV?

I have a HDTV television and a sat dish that was on the house when I moved
in. What more do I need to receive Freeview HDTV? My daughter uses a special
SKY receiver into the HDMI socket but I don't need or want Sky.
BTW this is in UK.
Thanks. Howard.

well first you need a HDTV cabable box so that you can watch HDTV.

Having a true HDTV Receiver you should have an ATSC Tuner built into the
set. Therefore, according to the technologies present, connecting an off the
air antennea to the set should allow reception of any analog, digital, and
HD programming being broadcast within your reception area. At least that is
how it works in the US.
Otherwise, as posted, you will require a HDTV Tuner box to receive the HD
Broadcasts.

ASAIK the only method of receiving HD in the UK is via Sky or Cable.

Yes, I think the OP is confusing HD with digital. This is common.

No, approximately 500 people in a part of the London area are
involved in a HD test.

He wanted to know how to get it. A quick google search told all
about it, and revealed that he almost certainly could not get it.
