How do I get my digital HDTV tuner to work?

Hello, I live in the Chicago land area and I have a 22″ Samsung T220HD LCD TV monitor, and it says “features a built-in full HD 1080p digital HDTV tuner”. I just did a scan of air channels on the tv, but the channels it is displaying looks normal and does not look like HD to me. I was wondering if I have to do something to receive HD signals?

Our regular TV has a broken coax and can only be hooked up to the receiver via the yellow, red, and white cables. Will our HDTV be able to receive HD programming if it’s not directly hooked up to the HD receiver?

The way I understand it is HDTV is more popular in the US while digital TV is a buzzword in the UK (even though you hear the latter in the US). Digital TV, in the UK at least seems to take after the concept of a DVD where you have value added services such as interactive menus and never before seen videos. Am I correct?
What is the difference between digital TV in the US and in the UK?
