Best Answer

HDMI receivers are converters of standard television to HD television. They give you HD television channels instead of just normal channels. Not all channels can be HD quite yet but for the most part all of your channels will be HD.

Some receivers can block or corrupt the High Definition Content Protection signal, causing no picture to be output.
