even after reading the many posts about HD, i'm still confused about which hardware i'll need in order to view HD.
if i get the hd200, will i need any additional hardware (boxes) to view HD programming?
if i get an oval sat dish, will i need a separate sat receiver to connect to the hd200...or does the 200 act as both sat receiver AND HD converter?
for OTA signals, do i need a special antenna? and would i then connect this antenna to the hd200...thereby having both the OTA antenna AND the separate (if i need one) sat receiver?
sony makes a standard sat receiver with a tivo combo...but they don't seem to have one for the hd200...is that correct? does this mean if i want tivo i'd have to get a separate box?
lastly, does anyone have this unit connected to a Panny TH-42PWD5UY (not the HD version)? i'd like to know if the PQ of an HD signal going thru this unit is worth spending the xtra 1k in equipment (vs. normal SD signal). haven't been able to find a display unit playing HD programming.
thanks in advance for your help!
