why do i get a better picture on my digital cable when i use coax versus hdmi.?
i have a 50 inch plazma tv full 1080 when i hook up the hd cable box via coax cable the picture looks good on the 480 channels but horrable on the 1080 channels but on the hdmi cable the 1080 channels look great but the 480 channels look horrable you can’t even watch tv it is bad. it is not only on the analog channels but the standard def digital cables.
need help starting to get frustrated even tried a different brand of hdmi and the same thing
You gotta understand what is actually happening here….
Your RF coax on channel 3 has a lot more ANALOG 480i processing circuits to SMOOTH out the 480i Signal…..that’s why it looks better coming in to the TV set on the RF antenna connection…..
And your HI DEF 1080i signal looks GREAT on the HDMI Hi Def input on your TV set !!
Both inputs are specifically DESIGNED for the type of signal normally connected to that input.
Hi Def signals don’t come in on the RF jacks….only Low Def signals.
Now 480i signals are going to be a RARE occurance on HDMI once they dump the Analog TV signals and switch to Digital signals FEB 2009….
Oh they will still be 480….but they will be DIGITAL 480 !
And that is going to make a real BIG Difference in your signal !
It’s going to be clean….NOISELESS…
And THEN you will be more impressed with it on HDMI…..
So have patience….and wait until your cable company stops sending it’s channels on ANALOG 480 channels and converts over to Digital 480 channels…..
I hear the “wheels of progress” Sloooooowly creaking at your cable company…..
Heck Verizon Fios is already 100% digital as we speak…..
Sloooooooowly creaking…..
Oops, need some oil…..
Get that wrench out of those gears…..
Crrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaak !
