Hello,
I apologize if this is not the correct forum for a question from someone who currently has a 4-3 CRT 36inch tube TV and is thinking about buying a widescreen HDTV. I have a Standalone Series 2 TIVO, and I don't plan on changing this. Obviously my Tivo cannot and does not support HD. But here is my question -- if I got a new widescreen HDTV, would the Tivo at least be able to output the non-HD signal in widescreen format? Or, will I be stuck watching a 4/3 aspect ratio with vertical bars on the left and right of my TV screen if I really wanted to use Tivo? I'll probably upgrade my digital cable to HiDef and hook that box directly into my TV. But, I love Tivo (especially because of the HME features), and want to keep using it. I'm aware I might have a picture quality issue... but what I really want to know is if Tivo is capable of outputting a 16/9, aspect ratio, even though it won't be HD. Thanks,
