So what is the question? All I see is a statement of what you want to
watch.
If you have a DirecTV HD receiver, it will get all of DirecTV and all
OTA.
It will output the signal in many formats, including 480i.
I watch HD on my upstairs 46" SD RPTV all the time.
It is only 480, however and that is DVD quality.

But ANY HD receiver will downconvert HD to 480 for viewing on an SD set.
I do it all the time. It is DVD quality. Far superior to regular TV
broadcasts.

Well, that is a tautaulogy. Yes, it's "HD-only" but you *can* display
it on a regular television. A lot of digital and HD receivers provide
NTSC, S-video, and component outputs for a regular TV.

I just called Insight (my cable provider) and asked them the same question.
They said it would work. The digital box also has a DVR and rents for
$12.95 per month. The HD channels are $7.95 per month. Champ Car gets into
my pocket again, but I'm used to that. ;-) They're coming to install it May
1st!
Long live the turbo and the right hand turn!!!
