rootbear75 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Is it possible to put 1080i HDTV on a coax cable...im trying to prove to my friend that he is wrong (he thinks that my TV is lying when it says that the program is broadcasting in 1080i) if you can, i need a link to prove it... ive already searched a little bit, but i cant seem to find anything
Shock Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Pretty sure you need a digital cable box.
rootbear75 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 Pretty sure you need a digital cable box.TV doubles as that...
Shock Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Ok, well.. Google tells me that HD channels on analog cable are HD but they don't come in worth a !@#$%^&* because the analog signal is bad. So it's a total waste and you should tell him to get digital cable.
PoLiX Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 At the store they don't use any hdmi cables and we broadcast full 1080i on our premier tvs.
»Lynx Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 Coax can support HDTV but I think that there is more reflections in Coax cables. If you've got cable and HD channels - they're broadcast through Coax cables - but I think you will need very shielded Coax cables...
rootbear75 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Ok, well.. Google tells me that HD channels on analog cable are HD but they don't come in worth a !@#$%^&* because the analog signal is bad. So it's a total waste and you should tell him to get digital cable.Coax can hold both analog and digitalmy TV scanned all the frequencies, and listed out how many channels i havei had about 60 on my old tv... and this new one lists about 180.. (including sub-channels; a bunch of em are repeats, the exact same channel on a few different freqs)here, Discovery channel is CH 44, but the HD channel is 59-1friend says you cant put an HD signal on Coax... so its not HD at all... (even though the TV says its receiving a 1080i signal)so unless i find somewhere published that says You can put an HD signal over Coax, he's going to be a !@#$%^&* about it.... i think the main reason for his doubt is he doesnt believe that the Uni would have HD service from Comcast since so few people have HD tvs Edited January 17, 2008 by rootbear75
Dav Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 is the coax the link from your arial or cable provider the dorect link to your tv? is an HD service being broadcase down it? Does your TV had an inbuilt decoder? if all are true then I woud guess HDTV over coax is correct in your case.

Samapico Posted January 17, 2008 Report Posted January 17, 2008 S-Video cable is better...But that's offtopic, and you can't get a HD signal from your service provider to your home in a S-Video cable, so it's even more offtopic :/
