Installer coming tomorrow but TV is late

I am currently a DirecTV subscriber and I just bought an HD television so I am upgrading to an HD box and HD DVR.  The problem is my television shipped late and it will not be here tomorrow for when the installer gets here.  Can he hook up the HD and HD DVR without an HD television?  Thanks.

Yes, but he'll need some sort of TV and a SD one will do.

sure, the installer can hook up the HDDVR to an SD TV to make sure that the receiver is working. also ask him to leave the HDMI cable provided by DIrecTV with you.
