with the demise of the SD signal from DirecTV will these TV sets become boat anchors?
If you want to watch HD then yes.
I just tested it in my den - I've got a mini-genie connected to an old SD television, and the receiver is set to only show SD channels. I changed the setting so that HD channels are showing, and tuned to an HD channel - I was able to view the programming, albeit at SD quality. So, that tells me that I can, indeed watch HD - I just can't watch it with HD quality...
