Hi friend..
Check the specifications of the receiver you intend to buy ...
If it has a scart connector on the back ...then the stb will most likely allow the HD image to be downscaled to a conventional TV ..
Most HD receivers do allow this ...usually for recording purposes ...

I agree, there should be no problem if the receiver has a scart.

When I first started bringing the Foxsat HDR out to France I used it over a scart lead with a standard TV without a problem.

Your non-HD Receiver cannot decode the Video for HD signals.

It is not designed to use the correct protocols, especially transmission format and modulation types, so will not work.

You might get Audio only for those HD Channels that still use DVB-S as opposed to DVB-S2, I suppose. Not sure.

Which HD channels do you mean? If the HD video channel is on a DVB-S transponder, you will get the MPEG audio of that channel.
