HDTV on a CRT tv.
What would happen if one tried to connect a HDTV component output from
say a HDSky+ box to a Toshiba 36ZP18? Regards Glenn...

Regardless of the TV, you won't be able to view HD content from a Sky HD box, because none of the ports on your TV will support HDCP (High Definition Copy Protection) which is a mandatory requirement of any tv that wants to receive HD content from Sky. -- Regards John [Essex, UK] Remove the obvious spamtrap to reply

Again, not what the Sky site says. "Provided your TV has a minimum native resolution of 720 lines and will support 720p/50 or 1080i/25 you will be able to use the Sky HD set top box analogue component connectors to connect to your TV and watch HD programmes. ... These component video connectors have been added to our initial set top boxes because we are aware that there are some customers who have already bought HD resolution TVs that don't have HDMI or DVI connectors. You can use the initial HD boxes' analogue component connectors to watch all the HD channels in Sky's HD service. But to be safe we are recommending that if you are thinking about upgrading your TV, you are best to buy one with an "HD Ready" label. In any event, Sky's subsequent HD boxes may not support analogue component connectors."

Won't the box have analogue outs? I'm sure I read that somewhere. It just depends on whether they're gonna do any format conversion so that you can view HD content on an SD tv. Andy
