A standard television can be used with high definition service. However, the person purchasing the service would be paying for something of which they are not receiving the benefit .
It may be a HD TV with Standard Freeview built in. Standard Freeview does not automatically contain any of the HD channels as it is not a HD service. However, you would get HD channels such as BBC HD and ITV HD if your TV had Freeview HD built in. So, my recommendation would be to buy a Freeview HD box. Remember to check on the Freeview HD website to find out when the service is rolling out in your area, as the service is actually brand new. My postcode doesn't receive this signal until June 2011, so be careful. The service at the moment is very limited.
Most HD sets make a sub standard picture without a HD signal.
HD ready tv is High Definition - meaning more clear, concise and crisp picture as well as sound. There is special programming through your cable for this if you have a High Definition television.
That is not possible since HD-players use HDMI for connecting to the television. It wouldn't be very useful to connect HD-players to SDTV's, because that way the player has no advantage over a standard DVD player.
If you subscribe to the HD service. Otherwise you might only get a standard definition picture.
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, the 360 elite come with standard definition cable if you want to play in HD then you will need an HDMI cable for the xbox and a HD tv unless you using a standard cable
A SD or standard definition tv.
They sure will.
Not much
DirecTV is not a channel you can just tune in too. The company rents you a dish and the converter needed to access their service. Order HD service even if you don't have a HD set, on a good standard def. set, you can see the better picture quality.
After you purchase a new Akai LED TV, make sure that you call your service provider and ask for the HD channels instead of the standard ones. These will cost more than the channels that you have now. However, you will be wasting the technology if you do not get the HD channels. If you have already paid to have a good TV, you should take full advantage of what it can do for you.
