Toshiba 40H80

Hey al. I just purchased this and I have a question. It is HDTV compatiable so does that mean I need an HDTV decoder in order to watch TV? I plan on buying one but not for a while. If this is a stupid question I apologize

Yes, you need a HDTV decoder. Almost all HDTV's require one.

So in order to watch any non HDTV programming I need the decoder? or do I just need it to watch shows that are broadcast in HDTV?

Just for the HDTV programming. Normal television, DVD, TiVo, Playstation, etc. require no additional hardware.

Thanks guys. I knew that I needed the decoder to watch anything broadcast in HDTV. Just wanted to make sure I could watch TV without it. Otherwise the TV would have been a colossal waste.
