Not unless you want HD channels. I have a HDTV but use standard cable.
Kevin converted all of our old VHS tapes to dvd thru his computer a while back.
A couple years ago I was told by a guy at Circuit City that an HD TV needs an HD TV Directv box.
He lied to you or gets a commission from DirectTV to say that. HD cable/satellite is not a requirement for any HDTV.
Actually he was saying you could buy an expensive convertor to make it work. Hey that's why I'm asking.

I've never heard of anything like that required for any service. He was likely trying to get you to buy crap you don't need for commission or he was completely misinformed.

I thought so at the time. I'm not your basic push-over by any means. Thanks for the info and the article. The reason I didn't get an HD TV is that I thought I'd have to have them come in and change the box (and charge more for the damn thing).
Nope, definitely not. You can use a standard def box on a HDTV. I do the same thing with cable. We may get dish soon and get HD boxes but they aren't required.
Cable is available to everybody in Keene but many people there have directv or DishTV because it's cheaper I guess. That's what some friends of ours tell us anyway.
Dish is cheaper now. Cable costs are outrageous right now. We pay around $160 for our cable plan and we have slightly more than basic cable (not much more). We can save about $40/month (more if we go with a smaller plan) by switching to dish and have every channel available.
So, I guess Cox really sticks to ya eh?Yep, Cox charges out the ... for internet and cable tv too
I saw that one...coming

Thanks Bov, I wondered where everybody went, I thought you guys were avoiding me... I guess you were hiding in another thread like this. I even did something I haven't been able to do in some time and that was check back 3 days in a row instead of letting 5 or 6 days go by and no one was there!
OK, didn't catch up on the 5 pages before this one, so I will jump right in. We don't have a cable option, so it is DirecTV for us. But we get charged a bunch as we can't get our local network channels over the airwaves so we have to pay for each one separately and get a California feed. Then we also have to pay for the NFL sunday ticket. Hubby wouldn't move from South Florida without me promising he wouldn't miss a football game!
