A SD or standard definition tv.
An HD camcorder can be made to be compatible with a non HD tv. Using video editing software, you can downgrade the HD video from an HD camcorder to standard definition which will play on a non-HD TV. Some camcorders will also have RCA outputs which will play on a non HD tv. If the camcorder only has HDMI outputs, then it can not be directly connected to you non-HD TV. There are also some camcorders which can record in both HD and Standard Definition.
no
ive been told it does but anyone out there with a non hd tv and thinking about getting a hd pvr check properly to make sure

YeS
1. buy a HD-TV, a non HD-tv can't become an HD-TV 2. get HD channels from your cable provider 3. get a Blu-ray player
Yes.
You will be able to play it correctly, but it wont look as well as it would look on an HD TV
Every Blu ray player I ever saw will deliver non-HD images to a non-HD TV. But you will only get the full 1080p (or whatever) on a full HD monitor.
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.
HD televisions with an HDMI connections are required in order to view the content in HD. Bluray players have analog outputs that can be connected to older, non HD televisions.
The bottom line on the quallity of your picture is the quality of your input signal. A clear, noiseless, high quality non HD input to a HD TV will look great. (There have been studies which show that non-expert viewers will not readily be able to distinguish high-quality non-HD signals from HD signals). A pasty, lossy, low-quality signal will look terrible whether it is HD or non HD (it may even look worse in HD). A HD TV will usually give you a better picture - whatever the quality of your input signal. But the better your input signal - the more improvement you will see.
