Ann - The general answer is that you cannot view an HD channel on your older SD TV.
Every cable company handles these things differently, so for for a definite answer you need to talk to your cable company. The cable company in my area sends both an SD version and an HD version of most channels. So, for instance there is an NBC at channel 8 and an NBC-HD on channel 1008. An SD TV can only view channel 8, an HD tv can view either of the two. There are several types of connectors coming out of the cable box to accommodate the different types of cables required for analog and digital TVs. gs George Sinos -------------------- www.GeorgesPhotos.net www.GeorgeSinos.com On Mon, Sep 30, 2013 at 9:04 AM, Ann Sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: > But can I view those HD channels on my non HD TVS? > > > > > On 9/30/2013 10:01, Paul Stenquist wrote: >> >> Most stations broadcast in both HD and SD, and your HD cable box should be >> capable of receiving both. >> That's how it works with satellite TV, and I would think it's the same >> with cable. >> >> Pau >> On Sep 30, 2013, at 9:54 AM, Ann Sanfedele <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> >>> Do I need to have a TV that is "HD" to receive stations that are HD using >>> a cable box that is HD ? >>> >>> I dont care if I see things in HD or not.
