Anyone Watching Hi Def Cable TV on a Projector?


I just bought an HD DVD player and got it connected through my projector and I was floored by the picture. I am able to get 1080i resolution. Stunning. It is connected via the component video inputs. I'm wondering if I'll get similar results on the projector with the component video connections if I ordered Hi Def cable tv. I currently have satellite tv and I don't have hi def service...it looks muddy on my projector.

..thanks for your help here.

In NYC I used Time Warner cable and now I have Cablevision.

In both cases, I have paid a few extra bucks to have the HD boxes, and used component video cables to projectors which are older and lower resolution than your machine.

In my case the results have been consistently amazing which has always made me wonder why so many people fuss over big screen plasmas.

A 1080 set up must obviously be even better.

In the true spirit of being an audiophile, I am less concerned with the content than that quality of the picture.

As for Mr Jones, it sounds like his cable provider has less content than major metropolitan areas.

But whatever the case, I find I can watch the most boring shows in HD and they are just riveting.

Good luck. Have fun.
