You will be able to view SD TV.
Standard definition TV does not look as good on an HDTV as it does on a comparably sized SD TV.
The problem is that the SD signal has to be de-interlaced and processed to add lines of resolution to match the HDTV’s screen resolution. This process degrades the picture.
Even after you upgrade to HDTV, you’ll still be watching a lot of SD TV.
Sets differ in their ability to display SD. Some are better than others. You should look for a professional review of any set you’re interested in. The March Consumer Reports reviews a large number of sets, including their SD performance.

Yes it will still be viewable, it might look slightly blurry though.

Sure, your satellite service probably hooks up via composite or S-video connectors, so you should be fine.

However, don’t be surprised if the picture looks fuzzier than your old TV. When std res tv gets spread across a large high res screen, it tends to look blurrier.

Yes. But sometimes standard-def content looks pretty bad on HDTV’s. Hope I helped!
