In theory, any dvb-t tuner should be able to receive HD.  The tuner doesn't
care what format the stream is in - it just feeds it to the OS to deal with.
All the references to MPEG2 compression and other rubbish on dvb card specs
are usually talking about the bundled software - which is usually windows
only.

If you get your reception from Crystal Palace you should be able to pick up
4 HD test channels (BBC, ITV, CH4 and Five). Playing the channels is another
issue - look at the dev list if you're interested (I have it just about
working but playback is too slow).

I will however be picking up my HD box on Saturday morning - managed to get
on the BBC trial :)

Googling your tv model suggests it's HD ready -try converting these into
modelines (from my Xorg.0.log):-
