If your condo doesn't provide HDTV, you wont see any benefit from the cable service. You could still see HDTV if you hooked up other compatible sources (DVD or such).
For an explanation of EDTV vs. HDTV see here:

I live in a Condo Building and share Direct TV satelite with all tenats (ie 100). We use a middle man to provide service and equipment. The association has not approved HDTV to our current contract. What can I do to ? If I bot a HDTV what kinf of picture am I going to have.
Also, I have been in a couple of stores in Chicago and I keep getting negative input about EDTV yet CNET ranks these better. I know the EDTV is cheaper. Is there a difference in quality versus the other plasma's.
Thank you for your guidance.
