The answer to both is the same: both low and medium resolution will be
displayed through the composite, Rf, and RGB outputs.  Unless you have a
_wonderful_ TV set, picture quality of Rf in medium resolution is not too
great (TV's don't have enough bandwidth).

No.

They are the same!  Both will run the hard disk.
