Can HD television sets only receive high definition signals?
We are considering purchasing a new television set, and it seems that considering the size, all we are finding is HDTV. Considering the cost of the set, I was hoping to avoid additional increased charges to upgrade my cable or satellite to HD. Can a set that’s designated as HD receive signals from conventional cable, satellite, or non-HD DVD players?If so, will the picture be comparable to what I am currently receiving, or worse?
The television will receive any signals from cable, satellite and non HD-DVD players. You could buy a DVD player that does upconvert the DVD to near HD quality. These players run around $70 to $100. You will need an HDMI cable to do this. If you are spending the money for the new set you might as well upgrade your cable or satellite service for HD. I find it hard to watch a program not broadcast in HD now. FYI the HD signal is much better than anything your viewing now.
