Thanks. I was more concerned with getting all the digital picture quality actually delivered to your TV set, when using 'digital cable'. I noticed that when the cable company comes to your home to hook up digital cable, they still use a typical 'ancient' 75 ohm coaxial cable run to your TV set! This coax carries BOTH the audio AND video signal, so it is probably not as good as taking advantage of the 'S-video' out on your digital cable box. I'm sure a slight recognizable improvement can be realized especially if you are using a 'better' TV like a digital RPTV or plasma set. Anyway, based on advice I got here on these boards, I upgraded to 'S-video' and audio cables, and my digital cable picture looks a bit clearer on my RPTV! This upgrade, in my opinion, is well worth it. Am wondering if anyone else has done this, and noticed any difference?
