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.

My experience is similar to that of Cwlondon, using Time Warner cable in Minneapolis (now taken over by Comcast). Content is pretty good, offering all the commercial broadcast networks plus TBS, National Geographic, Discovery, public television and a few others. Premium channels like HBO have HD programming, too. Sound quality is a big bonus, with most of the HD programming in Dolby Digital. Many of the commercials are in HD and Dolby, as well--kind of fun on a 120-inch screen--but I skip 'em anyway, since the digital recorder box allows you to record the program, and begin watching 15-20 minutes later. This way you can fast-forward through all the commercials and still finish by the end of the program hour.
