How do you connect a standard definition TV to a high definition satellite receiver?

You can connect your standard definition TV to your satellite receiver in a couple of ways. First, if your TV has composite video/audio inputs (yellow, red, and white RCA jacks), you can connect to these inputs using the composite video outputs of the satellite receiver. Another alternative is to use the standard coaxial cable output from your satellite receiver to connect to the 75ohm antenna input on your TV. *Note: Neither of these connections will display high definition programming on your standard definition TV. The TV is only capable of standard definition, so you will see a clear picture, but it won't be true high definition, regardless of the input signal's definition.
