What is the difference between HDMI and Component Video. I recently bought
an HDMI cable and hooked it up from my cable box to my HD TV. It was not a
MONSTER cable as they are stupidly overpriced etc. It was just a normal one.
The results as viewed by myself and my wife was that the Component video
source from the cable box looks just as good if not better than the HDMI
feed. ( these component cables were left with my by Time Warner when they
delivered the HD DVR) Any explanations or opinions on this.

Thanks,

You could have an HD TV but not be viewing any HD content. HDMI
connections are also communication cable between component processors.
(For instance, if you put a BluRay in your player, the TV will switch
to HDMI (if it wasn't already).
