[QUOTE="DravenGSX, post: 4363153, member: 42445"] capnkirk52, that is either your tv or your source. Component cables can handle 1920x1080 resolution just fine. OP: I'd be surprised if you could tell the difference between HDMI and component. In fact, with the tv just out of the box, I can guarantee that without a professional tune, any difference you did notice would be in your head. In order to receive all of the HD channels carried by your cable provider, you will need a set top box (STB). If you only wish to receive the local broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.), then you can purchase an Over-The-Air (OTA) antenna for anywhere from 50 to about 200 bucks from your local big box electronics store. Hook it up to the tv and voilin, you have OTA HD for free. But you'll miss out on channels like Discovery HD, ESPN, HDNet and any others that your cable provider carries. Up to you. If it were me, I'd get the DVR. But that has nothing to do with the available connections. It's simply because I couldn't live without my DVR. [/QUOTE]
