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.
Those are component cables. 3 for video and 2 for audio. I tried that
setup but the picture quality was not the best.
No, these are much thicker than the "component" cables.

You are probably correct. This is all new to me.



Compare Circuit City's and Best Buy's cables with
http://www.cablewholesale.com. Monster cables are just a waste of money.
The only thing Monster cables do is lighten your wallet. Refuses any
and all offers to purchase Monster cables.
