Depends on exactly what console and what HDTV you have, but the most likely answer is no. List the brand and model of your TV and the console in question, and maybe we can give a more definitive answer.

is right. Your terminology is a little vague, as well.
An HD tuner should never be required for direct connection of consumer HD devices to an HD-ready TV. As for "decoder," this could refer to any number of devices that might be required depending on your display and sources.
