HD PVR Recordings on SD TV
I'm thinking of picking up an HD-PVR to start playing with, even though I don't have an HDTV yet. If I record in HD, will SageTV be able to play it back through SD tv sets? I know it's a stupid question, but . . .
TIA - Jeff

It will still be able to play it back fine, and you'll be amazed at how much better the HD content looks even though it's just an SD TV. This is the exact situation I'm in right now.
Caveat: When I say it'll play it back fine, I mean playing back on an SD TV won't hurt anything. Whether or not your system is up to HD playback at all is an entirely different question.

How will you be playing your files on an SDTV - via an extender?

Then I bet you are watching it in HD as I assume your client PC monitor has at least 720 lines of resolution.
But you mention in your OP about playing it back on SDTV sets. Does this mean you are using something like an S-video connection from your client PC to your TV set.

Exactly, S-Video to the TV.
