It might, although I would not suggest paying extra for HD cable if you don't have an HDTV, no point really. Don't confuse HD with digital, as the last answerer has. Millions of TVs will not stop working, because he is confusing the fact the all over the air signals will have to be digital with all TV having to be HDTV.

Opt for Dish Network and HDTV
Technology keeps getting upgraded so often that it is a headache to decide on which Dish Network to opt for. Analog TV made way for digital TV, which is now here to stay forever. Digital quality is almost on par with CD quality.
Dish network first adopted digital TV as it's medium and then went a step further, propagating HDTV. HDTV reception is even better than digital TV reception, by many multiples. It provides more pixels for the pictures to be shown, thereby compounding quality.
You need to decide which suits you better - standard TV viewing or HDTV. An HD receiver costs about fifty dollars and is required if you wish to avail of the Dish Network HDTV plan. Even among HDTV viewing, there are options to choose from. DishHD Bronze package is the low-end package, which is about fifty dollar, a month and DishHD Platinum package, is the high-end one, which will cost you at least hundred dollars a month. It all depends on the amount of channels you opt for. The package called America’s Top Programming costs just about 30% a month, Do not rush your decision and come to a conclusion only after a minute comparison of both the technologies side-by-side. It can be safely said that in future standard definition TV will be phased out to make way for HDTV. As of now, it is not just enough to get an HDTV package and corresponding equipment; Your TV should have HDTV compatibility.

Up to a certain date TV signals broadcast in HD have to be also compatible with standard NTSC. After that date the implication is you will have to get a high-definition set. Overnight billions of TV sets in the US will not work any more. You will see a landfill problem you cannot believe.

It will be normal. You need an HD-Ready or HD-capable TV and you only have a regular one.

It will not affect the picture qualty on your tv. The picture will show up normal. You're just paying more for your programming than you need.
