Can I use an HDTV on a non HD sytem?
I currently have Dish TV. It is not Dish HD. If I buy a HDTV, even though I don't have HD, will I be able to view regular TV using the existing Dish Box? Will I need htmi cables.
you certainly can hook the tv up to the non-hd receiver box. The only downside is that you wont appreciate the money you spent on the HD television set, because it will look no better than your old TV.
Aside from that, you'll have to work with the "zoom" feature on the tv in order to make the picture fit the screen (due to the non HD signal).
You can use av (red/yellow/white) cables to hook it all up, but again, it wont look great. If you ever upgrade to the HD receiver then you would definitely want to grab an HDMI cable (although i have direct TV, and they gave me an hdmi cable with each Hd receiver).
