Sky HD query

Hi, just decided to make the upgrade to sky HD from sky + and am now worried about something and was hoping someone could put my mind to rest.
We have a main tv which is HD so no problem, plus we have two other tvs which are off the same feed (not multiroom) controlled by a magic eye. Now one of them is HD ready and the other is just a normal standard definition one.
My question is do I have to get a new HD tv for the one that is standard definition or am I ok with what I have?

Old Faithful we roam the range together,
Old Faithful in any kind of weather,
When the round up days are over,
And the Boulevard’s white with clover,
For you old faithful pal of mine.

As far as I'm aware, you're fine with what you have, just the standard t.v. will obviously not show the HD quality. I'm pretty sure the programmes will show up, just in standard definition.Save in 2014 Challenge: #193 £4,197.70/£50000

As above, the TVs will be fine, you won't get HD on them anyway
Your biggest issue may be that your new HD box from Sky hasn't got an RF output to feed the other TVs.
If that's the case, you'll need some sort of modulator, the Triax Tri-Link is a nice bit of kit, or you could use a iO-link - I think Sky sell them
I don't get involved with Sky stuff much so things may have moved on since I last looked.Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -

The latest WiFi enabled Sky + boxes do not have RF modulators. As posted they need an IO link.That gum you like is coming back in style.0
