    You won't be able to watch them, but not sure how this will show up on your menu.

    They might show up but give a 'Cannot display this channel' type message when selected.


    If you could, would there be any need for HD boxes?

    They show up on an SD box I have here - no display.

    It might be possible to hear a sound channel .....

    Not if they use either DVB-S2 or AAC audio.

    Basically No.

    Forget about even tuning the channels when they are on DVB-S2 on an SD box.

    You might as well try to play BluRay discs on a DVD player.
