The benefits of purchasing an HD box if you do not have an HDTV is to bring in clearer channels. Some of the HD boxes are also converters so that one would be able to watch antenna TV with out an HDTV. Also, depending on what type of HD box one is going to get there are channel bundles with upgrading to an HD box from a cable company. Some boxes are streaming devices as well which would allow you to watch Netflix on a TV without having to have a bluray player or gaming console device.

This depends on the cable box. Most HD cable receivers have not only an HDMI output for use with HD televisions but also feature analog connections that can be used with non HD televisions. The analog outputs will only deliver SD quality so the benefits of an HD receiver won't be seen, but the receiver most certainly can be used and will display HD quality whenever an HD television is connected to it.
