Sure! A 3D TV is also capable of displaying 2D programs, i.e. SD and DVD (which are in 576p format, in Europe), as well as HD and BluRay (which are in 1080i25 or 1080p50 mode). This is precisely why a 3D TV generally has a button for switching from 3D mode to 2D mode. Naturally, an HD-only TV is not capable of displaying 3D programs. Depending on the technological choices related to the representation of a 3D signal, an HD-only TV that receives a 3D signal may display the left-eye and right-eye related images side by side (side-by-side) or one below the other (top-bottom) or fragmented and arranged in a suitable tile pattern (tiled) or may display nothing. The same would happen with a 3D TV that you have mistakenly set to 2D mode.
