Most new sets that aren't HD are HD "ready" meaning you can see HD shows if you add the set top box. But that's all you will see, you won't see the HD quality.

For that you need a true HD set.

TEN's marketing has been quite misleading by neglecting to detail this. You can't simply add a set top box to a standard set and expect HD definition. All you will see is the HD channel in standard analogue.

David, in general can you use a HD Digital set top box on a normal TV or does the TV need to be HD as well? This thread promted me to ask.

Typo yup, thanks. Using a logo on its own is always a bit dull, so until they send out new pics....

Lazer just got your pics thanks muchly.

As with most sites, there's always been ads on this site, just beta testing new ideas as the site grows. Please continue in TV Lounge.

Foxtel Digital will launch in April… so its true, we dont have Digital now! Or was that a typo David?

Also thats a really old picture you have used there.

PS – When did the ads appear on the blog? For the last few days it hasnt loaded properly and now all of a sudden there are ads.
