Thanks, George..
I'm really screwed then..
the problem is Turner Classic movie's SD channel is totally messed up,
pixilated, etc.. I only went back fromBasic cable to standard (more
money than I should be spending) to get that and weather channel.. so
I was told that I should try the HD channel.. but my cable box didnt
know what that was (you know 3 little ???)
So I switched cable boxes - thinking I was getting an HD cable box,
they didn't give me one because they knew I had only an SD tv.
Came home, and as a result of the new box (not HD) I now can view
NOTHING without extreme pixilation and bad sound.
Tech from Time warner coming tomorrow... I wonder, now , if
the HD cable box could possibly by chance or ahirpin logic, fix the
reception on that one station.
FOrtunately, I still can watch broadcast channels on a Tv I have
with rabbit ears and digital converter borrowed from neighbor.

Ann -
The general answer is that you cannot view an HD channel on your older SD TV.
Every cable company handles these things differently, so for for a
definite answer you need to talk to your cable company.
The cable company in my area sends both an SD version and an HD
version of most channels. So, for instance there is an NBC at channel
8 and an NBC-HD on channel 1008. An SD TV can only view channel 8, an
HD tv can view either of the two.
There are several types of connectors coming out of the cable box to
accommodate the different types of cables required for analog and
digital TVs.

Most stations broadcast in both HD and SD, and your HD cable box should be
capable of receiving both.
That's how it works with satellite TV, and I would think it's the same
with cable.

Do I need to have a TV that is "HD" to receive stations that are HD using
a cable box that is HD ?
I dont care if I see things in HD or not. I just want to be able to
get the stations.
Don't get me started on why I'm asking
thanks!
