Well I have an HDTV Satellite box and it receives both channels even though I don’t subscribe to to HD, i jsut dont get those channels, they are blacked out.
plus you don’t need an hdtv to receive hd channels
Yes. Regardless whether the selected TV channel is analog, digital, or HD, the cable box will output an analog RF signal to the RF connector on the back of the cable box. You connect this to the RF input on your TV, and watch the selected channel on either channel 3 or 4 on the TV (some cable systems use channel 3 as the output from the cable box and others use channel 4).
