I don't believe you can pass HD over S-video cables. You need composite
video or HDMI cables. And even if the program you are watching Says it's
broadcast in HD, Time Warner might not be sending you HD. To be sure you
are getting "all HDTV can be" watch the OTA broadcast for free.
Someone else said the same thing but I can see a difference between nonHD
and HD channels.

If you're watching over S-Video you can not be watching in HD.


I understand that but the picture is still damn good and better than with
the composite cables. I will keep playing around to see if I can get the
HDMI to work.




No expert on this here, but my memory of hooking up an HD TV was that
there were five cables going from the cable box to the TV, and the HDMI
cable went from the DVD player to the TV.
