I don't have cable just regular channels. I like the flat panels because of the design. I'm really not interested in the HD features.

If you're buying a new tv make sure it has a digital receiver..
In 2009 tv as we know it will not exist. everything is going digital..
Look for a tv that has SDTV which will be able to process the new signals..

Yes. Any device called a "television" (as opposed to "monitor") has both a display screen AND a tuner, so, with an antenna, you can receive and watch regular television broadcasts. Devices that are called "monitors" are just a display and have no tuner. They require an external video source like a cable box, separate tuner, video game system, etc. in order to display anything.
There are plenty of high-quality inexpensive LCD TVs on the market these days. If you don't want HD, you don't need a widescreen set - a standard square one will do. Just be sure you get one called a "TV" and you're all set.
