No, I’m afraid not. The HD signal needs a whole new tuner, and the CI slot is much later in the chain. You’d essentially have to have a whole HD box in the CI module, which would be fiddly to do in such a small size, and wouldn’t be easy to manage using the limited way that the remote control for the TV can interact with a CI module.

Can HD ready tv with intergrated freeview television be upgraded to HD with the use of a common interface card? Or is it just a case of purchasing another higher quality TV. If their is CI available to upgrade these TV where can they be purchased from?

[...] the very last of those three descriptions comes close at all to giving a hint at what’s wrong. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating – in the UK, we use a system called DVB-T2 for Freeview HD channels. [...]

Very sound advice. The more you read before splashing the cash the better the bargain.
