A HD set top box will output the HD channels to a regular TV, so you can
watch the Formula 1 or Seinfeld reruns that are only on the HD channels on
your existing TV. The picture is optionally "letterboxed" or centred so you
miss the outer edges of the picture, and the picture quality is the same as
standard definition. My 51cm CRT TV is 10 years old this year, but I still
think of it as my "new" telly, so I won't be replacing it for a long while
yet. It is quite serviceable for watching HD broadcasts with the set top
box.
