An EDTV is native 480p. If the EDTV supports 720p, then it will downconvert the signal to 480p and display it. Yes, it will display it, just not at 720p resolution.
While most EDTV support 720p, not all. You just need to either try it out or look at the specs.

A progressive scan TV paints the entire frame in one sequential pass, eliminating much of the distortion that two-pass interlacing creates. Although the TV still receives the video frame in two parts, it combines the data before painting it by using an internal processor called a deinterlacer, also known as a line doubler. Progressive scan displays are specified as 480p or 525p, more commonly called enhanced definition TV (EDTV...So no it will not...Hope this answers your question

The TV should display the 720P image, but not in 720P native format. It will down-convert the signal to make it fit on the TV. It will bring the resolution below HD back to ED.
It may not display anything at all, if it doesn't support progressive scan resolution at all. It may ony run in interlaced mode, but that is unlikely.

I believe some units are able to take the 720p signal and downconvert it to 480p in order to display it. Check your owner's manual.
