In Reply to: DVI - HDMI cable between cable box/monitor posted by Mwalsdor@cscc.edu on March 11, 2006 at 12:21:20:
You will need to run a pair of interconnected for the audio. The piture will benefir from the higher quality DVI output however DVI does not suport audio. I have the same set up on my SA set top box and a Samsung HD set.

Did you compare the DVI> HDMI to the component cables? TIA.
Yes I did. I had the componenet cables hooked up for about four months before I made the switch at Christmas time. The DVI cable is more detailed resulting in a better sharper picture. I would never go back to the analog cables. The SA DVR box has an HDMI output which carries the audio signal as well by the way.
Thanks, sounds like I should contact WOW and see if they have the SA8300HD box that has the HDMI out.
I am not the SA box expert here but I think that the only SA boxes that have the HDMI output ar ethe ones that have a hard drive in them. At least that's the way it is here in NJ. Be interesting to see if you can find out otherwise.
I read somewhere about the "chirping" from the SA box. I noticed this the other day and had no idea what was going on. The SA8000HD box is a DVR, so it has a hard drive.
Somtimes I wish I could put it into another room.
It's the drive.
