B. Amish Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Am I missing out if I don't have a HDMI cable running from my cable box to my HDTV? Right now, I think I just have a coax cable hooked up. Will the picture be better if I switch?Any help appreciated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Does your cable box have an HDMI port and/or are you receiving HD service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yes, it has a HDMI port. I am not subscribed to the added HD package. However, sometimes when I hit 'info' for a channel it will say that it's in HD. Like football on Sundays and certain other shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfloyd4ever Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 probably wouldn't hurt to at least try it? Other thought is post this question in the equip/expert info forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 By all means yes, you should get an HDMI cable or at least a set of component cables. Even if you don't subscribe to an HD package you should be able to pick up the broadcast stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Kuhn Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Over Coax, yes. Over component cables? Probably not noticeable. The nice thing about HDMI cables is they make a lot less of a rats nest than component cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
