Yes. The HD Receivers and DVRs have outputs that will work with your SD TV (composite video, SVideo).joshjr said:Okay I have another stupid question. I dont have a HD TV yet but I am signed up to get HD programming tomorrow. The only reason I want it is for HDnet and its MMA content. My question is will I be able to watch it on my SD TV until I buy a HD TV?

I think the mods would know if we were close to a new model.Michael D'Angelo;1712960 said::welcome_s to DBSTalk!
It will not be an HR22 because there is no such thing. There is a R22 SD DVR.
You will most likely receive an HR21, with a very small chance of getting an HR20, but I doubt it.
Do you mean that if you didn't have an HDTV they wouldn't install and HD DVR? I guess there could be some installers that would be hesitant because they wouldn't be able to verify the installed equipment is fully functional or because they were afraid the customer would complain about not really seeing "HD". Really, in a situation where the customer knows the facts and is simply planning on a near-future TV upgrade, why would D* care? And maybe this was two years ago when HR2x's were scarce and they had waiting lists?rahlquist said:Wow it was my understanding at least a while back, if you didnt have HD reciever they wouldnt do the install of a HD DVR?
Hmmm .. Interesting to hear that Costco is getting these receivers, but it's a virtual certainty that they will be R22s ..kev1782 said:I called Costco again today. Different person, same answer about the HR22 being the model number on the HD DVR's they have coming in on the 8th.
I'll just tell them that I am getting a hdtv soon. It should not be that big of a deal.paulman182 said:There are some installers who won't install an HD unit on an SD TV. The installer I had was reluctant, but finally did so.
No such box exists. I agree they are confusing it with the R22.kev1782 said:I called Costco again today. Different person, same answer about the HR22 being the model number on the HD DVR's they have coming in on the 8th.
Will be waiting for a picture of the HR22 and dont forget to ge ta shot of bigfoot standing with it!Ci2Eye said:I have DirecTV coming out to upgrade my system this Thursday. When I asked what equipment I would get, the guy said "most likely our new HR22". I asked if it was black and he said yes. I'm not well versed in DirectTV's equipment but I did enough research to know I wanted the HR21 and the 100 version was the latest so I was a little surprised and didn't know what to think when he said HR22.
