did u already buy one, what is your budget.
You have quiet a few TV tuner cards which can play HD, but it costs more.

But anyhow the display will depend upon the transmission, if the digital or analog transmission is HD then only u will get high res. generally the transmission is quiet low here in India

I haven't seen anybody enjoying true HD (1920x1080) transmission here in India. So don't worry about that at this particular time.
