We ate Alaskan king crab claws/legs. Perhaps better than the crab
from your area but realizing they are all bottom feeders.


I like softshell crabs from this area, because you can eat the whole
thing. Never been into the spicy crab banging business of crab eating
so popular around here...lots of work for a little bit of crab meat. I
prefer the Alaskan claws and legs, too.

A crab picking is a social event as much as it is an eating event. If
you had friends you would know that.




Perhaps if I had my prefrontal lobes drilled, I could hang out with a
bunch of swell guys like you and pick.

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.

My day was great. I spent some bucks on fishing gear, and my wife
bought me some new "resort" clothes for my trip next week.

I spent the afternoon with Mrs. H shopping for a stand for our new HDTV
as we will be giving our old 36" RCA (1994 vintage) cathode ray and
stand to our daughter since receiving our new 46" Sony HDTV.

The payoff was a great shrimp and crap dinner followed by a movie on the
new TV.

BTW: Time Warner sucks big time as it does not appear to recognize
HDMI. Although the S-Video input works on our box/set the HDMI input
does not, despite swapping out TW HD boxes, HDMI cables and trying
various settings on the new Sony.


Better call the Geek squad.


That is never an option. Between TW and me we will get it squared away.

BTW: The picture using the S-Video connection is pretty impressive!

Locally, Cox Cable gives a set of component cables with every HD box it
issues. The HDMI cables, in my case, would not pass the sound. Never could
figure out the problem, even after changing both the cables and the box. I
didn't try changing the TV.

My math sucks!

Actually, if one has cable the company will rent a box that will enable the
use of an analog TV when we go all digital next year. So, that TV will
still be have significant value.

Maybe about $4.37.

If you're getting a better picture from S-Video than from component
something is seriously wrong. Component is usually indistinguishable from
HDMI, sometimes it's even better, while S-Video can only pass a 480i signal.

Make sure you're actually using component cables, and not standard
"composite" or audio type RCA cables. All component cables will have red,
green, and blue colored connectors.

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.


So you went back to S-Video and lost the HD picture completely? That should
improve things!

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

If you're getting a better picture from S-Video than from component
something is seriously wrong. Component is usually indistinguishable from
HDMI, sometimes it's even better, while S-Video can only pass a 480i signal.

Make sure you're actually using component cables, and not standard
"composite" or audio type RCA cables. All component cables will have red,
green, and blue colored connectors.




Component cables are much thicker than composite cables.

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.

JimH, is there a reason you must tell us for at least the third time that
you're giving your 16 year-old TV to your daughter?

We all believe you are a most generous person!

John H


How many times did you tell us you were giving your old boat to 'the
kids'?
Did you ever actually do that?


Note, Don, that JimH didn't address the boat. He remembers the lies he told
about this. Actually, he even did some creative cutting and word inserting
to make his story sound good.

Looks like you fell for it.

How many times did he tell us about the race for the cure and squeeze us for
money?

Herring gets his jollies here by putting folks down. The old man needs to
get a life.


Speaking of which, the Race for the Cure is coming again!

If you feel like you're getting 'squeezed', please don't contribute. I
would much rather a person not contribute than feel squeezed by the amount
they're donating.

Usually, but not always. They will however always have red, green, and blue

The local Sony Store said you could swap the HDMI cable back & forth
.....from the cable box/tv to the tv/DVD player.
Too much trouble so I went with the best way to get HD on the TV..that
is...HDMI connecting DVR (cable box) to the TV.
best of all, my cable provider gave me a free HDMI cable... saving me from
being swindled by the Monster people.

I just did all of this with a Direct TV receiver and a Sony KDL46XBR4.

All that is needed is a single HDMI cable going from the receiver to
the television. The DVD player gets a second HDMI cable going to a
different HDMI input on the television.

Be aware that the Sony TV has switchable inputs which can be selected
either from the remote control or from a selector button on the right
hand edge (as you are facing it). For example, If your HDMI cable
from the cable box is connected to HDMI 1, the TV has to be switched
to the HDMI 1 input, etc. There is also a PC input connector if you
want a 46 inch monitor for some reason.

I think you are confusing audio video cables with composite video cables.

Just a note... the three 75 ohm YPbPr cables make up a *Component*
video connection. This carries an analog HD signal.

A *Composite* video connection is the single yellow RCA connection
that was used years ago for game boxes, VCRs, etc. It's barely better
that an RF cable connection.

A list of connections, from best to worst in quality:

HDMI
Component
S-Video
Composite
Cable (RF/Channel 3 type of signal)

And, as others have posted, a component connection should be virtually
indistinguishable from a HDMI connection.

Hope that helps.
I screwed up. Audio video cables include yellow (composite video) red and
white stereo cables. Component video cables are red blue and green

JimH,
I could have told you weeks ago that you would have trouble with your
HDTV. There does seem to be a pattern of having trouble with all of
your purchases.
