wildfish Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) yes as long as you have av conections and you will you can use it! it will play the digital channels no problem they will look great but they will only be in analog or standard format! which is fine!

wildfish Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 only if you get a hd(high def) box! at this point of time theres really only 'abc2' thats an extra and every now and then channel 7hd has something different on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andrew Andrew in terms of pic quality you will gain nothing over a SD (standard def) set top box on your telly. 10 & 7 are just trying to remarket something that has been around for a while (chanel 70 & 90are HD) Sound wise the odd program on HD will be in 5.1 dolby sound so if you have a seperate dolby digital amplifer hooked up you will gain sound like your DVD's. my 2c i wouldnt going spending a lot of $ on your current TV.

I'm sorry to say it but I have to agree... I work for a leading consumer electronics company and the feedback I've heard from a lot of people within the industry about LG leaves a lot to be desired... Putting a set top box on your current TV really won't make a hugely noticeable difference... I'd be waiting a bit longer and putting that money towards a LCD with built in HD tuner...
