you do need the to have the HDbox to get HD channels.

I also have comcast(I love On Demand)

the cable will connect to the TV and to the HDbox

I think the DVR box is the HD box because when I upgraded to HD they didn't change my box

I would just call and see I think they can turn the HD on right away

I don't know much about Comcast, but usually you need a new box that has HD compatibility, and if you want the DVR as well, you need a HD/DVR reciever.

I read an article that the conclusion was <32", get a LCD, and 32"< get a Plasma so I dunno if LCD was the right choice for a 52, anyway get a PS3 now and HDMI cables.

To be honest with you I really don't care.

There have been quite a few threads/posts recently which involve people trying to show off, I really don't see the need for it.

Yes, you need a box. This from the page you link to:
"Built-In HDTV Tuner: Add HD-capable antenna to receive over-the-air high-definition broadcasts, where available. Optional set-top box required for high-definition cable or satellite programming."
That you have to subscribe to from your cable/satellite provider (HD programming). How much per month it is varies but I don't think it's more than an extra $10-15.
