    Do you need a HD TV?

    Do you need a HD TV for the DM800 HD? Or will it work on a SD TV?

    I read somewhere that it will only function on a HD TV but I would have thought that it would still work on SD but that you would only be able to view SD channels and not HD channels.

    So could someone please clear this up for me as I am planning on purchasing one in the near future if it will work on my SD tv.

    Thanks

    You will not get HD on an SD tv, so although you will get a pic it will not be HD because your tv wont support it. If you use a VM HD box via a scart lead you will only view the channels in SD. So on that basis your better off getting a HD TV or getting an SD box.

    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

                  you can get a 32" LCD TV - 1080p for under ?230 now...

                  If you're spending ?180 on a box seems you can afford that
