Rogers HD box

[The Bandit]

I have a Rogers HD box on the main LCD tv, and have the oppurtunity to pick up a second box for cheap for another tv, but the second one is only an analog 32" tube tv.

Other than not being able to see the HD channels would it work normally like a convertor box, but with more channels?

I know I would only be able to use it through coax.

Yes it will work just fine, as you say, it will just be that you are watching in SD not HD.

Will the HD channels still show with a standard signal, or a blank screen?

Just be cautious with Rogers and their billing. At one point I was renting a Rogers Cable Box and returned it and bought a new Rogers HD box. However, Rogers continued to bill me for the old box and then started charging me a second outlet fee. It took a few months to clear up and the burden was on me to prove that I had returned the old box. Anyhow, just beware that they may charge you for a second outlet when you call to activate the other box.

The golden rule for all big Canadian media companies is it check your bills closely for a couple of month every time you change your service in any way. This very much goes for Bell, Rogers, and Telus. They are all prone to fucking up on the simplest of things, and it's never in your favour. Go forbid if you should every try to cancel a service, but if you're upgrading that can happen almost immediately...
