I appreciate all the info I have read today on this forum and I plan on attempting to get a free HR-20 setup as others have done here. My current problem is that I have an older RCA DVR40 DVR and a standard def Sony television. The current DVR does not have component outputs so I know I am not getting the maximum picture quality using the composite video out on the DVR. I also have only 35 hours recording capability and relatively slow menu navigation. Now my question: since I don't own an HDTV and probably won't for a few years, is there any problem using the HR20 with a SD TV? Is there any concern about picture quality if I don't have a HD TV? I assume not, but I would appreciate a confirmation. Thanks.
