Does the HDTV UpConverter II replace the need for an HDTV Receiver?
No, the HDTV UpConverter II can be used with or without an HD receiver and is not intended to replace or remove the need for HD reception. The fact is even if everyone had an HDTV receiver with their HDTV you still have many video sources in your home such as your DVD player or game console that deliver less than HD resolutions. The HDTV UpConverter II is used to enhance the home theatre experience for all of your video sources including HD reception. Some HD reception is broadcast at lower resolutions or resolutions that do not match your display device. You can use the HDTV UpConverter II to either Up Convert or Down Convert to the resolution you prefer.
