I'm a little but confused here: is there a difference between HDTV and Prog Scan TV's or are they the same? If I wanted to get a TV in the UK that supports the higher res (Xbox) what should I be looking for?

A display that supports 480p, 720p and 1080i
Nearly all Xbox games support 480p and a few support 720p and 1 or 2 support 1080i. -
HDTV is basically High Definition (720p and 1080i) 480p, which is your basic progressive scan. There are some CRTs that will support 480p, but if you're looking at getting a TV that supports 720p, youre looking at a pretty pricey plasma, but not many Xbox games support it, and you need it chipped.

Most TVs that can accept Progressive Scan also can show HDTV.I'm a little but confused here: is there a difference between HDTV and Prog Scan TV's or are they the same?
A Progressive Scan signal is not necessarily an HDTV one - for example GameCube can "only" output 480p. This is standard definition, but Progressively Scanned so the picture is still a huge improvement.
Anything higher than 480p is HDTV. 720p is HD -and- Progressive. Likewise, 1080i is HD but Interlaced.
So they're not the same thing, but they usually are seen together.Comment
