Quick SkyHD+ Question

Adamcp898 · 2009-09-12 18:52:26

My Sky digibox is beginning to play up a little and I'm thinking it will soon be time to replace it. I don't have a HD TV yet still just an old CRT TV but obviously when that finally gives up a HD TV will be bought. My question is if I were to get a SkyHD box would it work with a normal CRT TV?, will it be able to connect…

My question is if I were to get a SkyHD box would it work with a normal CRT TV?, will it be able to connect to it without a HDMI or component connection? because the TV obviously doesn't have either of these.

and if it can will the picture be downgraded just so it can work on the TV to a state where it's shyte?

You can use scart or possibly composite (not as good) until you get around to upgrading. You'll be stuck with standard definition though. Use a scart connection with RGB and it should perfectly acceptable until you get the HD in all its glory.
