Okay, here is a question that should elicit some laughs:
For the sake of video quality, should I run coax cable or S-video from my digital cable box to my TV? I run component from my dvd, and there is no VCR in the mix. Thanks!

I did an A-B using the picture-in-picture function of my set that allows instantaneous back-and-forth comparisons. Except for some "dot crawl" during overlaid graphics (such as the keys that a TV station will use to "brand" its newscast, you know, those colorful banners at the bottom that will say something like, "Channel 9 -- Live at Five!"), the picture was noticeably clearer, sharper, and colors were more saturated and lifelike.
Of course, your mileage may vary . . .
