Can HD Set Top Boxes Receive SD Channels?

Question

Channel 7 & 10 Are Releasing SD2 Channels And I Currently Have A SD Boxset. Could I Replace The SD Boxset With A HD One And Pickup Both Analogue, SD and HD?

Answer 1

Yes, usually.  I suppose it depends in your provider, but mine works fine (though some of the channel numbers are slightly adjusted).

The only issue is that the SD image will be upconverted to HD, which to me looks worse than normal SD       :-P   ....but thats just my opinion....
