In the early 1990s there were a few analogue HDTV systems trials, IIRC one was 1250 lines that was backwards compatible with 625 lines SD.

This reminds me of when I bought a tubed Philips 21" TV in 2001 along with a Pace On Digital box. My Dad was impressed with the picture quality, thinking it was a digital signal when in fact it was just the analogue!
