You don't need a HD TV to get the majority of the channels, not sure if the HD box would scale down HD stuff to standard def, although I'd assume the standard def £50 box would not support HD stuff anyway due to HD being mainly MPEG4 rather than MPEG2. At least existing standard def boxes don't appear to support HD video even scaled down. > I live in a listed building so can't have a dish on the outside of the > house.
