is "you do not need to upgrade your TV set" 100% true though. Thinking of people who are *still* using CRTs or very early or cheap LCDs without HDMI input. Earlier HD boxes did provide SCART outputs but modern ones don't, as far as I know.

(yes, I know HDMI to analogue adapters exist, but that's not exactly something you see in the nearest branch of Currys, and it is more complexity)

I think what they are saying is you CAN use HD kit with any television providing you can use a set top box capable if being used with it 

But yes you are right. Many modern TVs do not have scart on them. 

The And message during the news says '...or TV' in the spoken message but that I don't think us on screen  The AD message is mire accurate on thus front but has never been changed since it's first appearance on 5 January 2023 and us technically out if date because all services ARE now HD and these SD feeds are legacy.
