Re: [Cable] DVR Quality vs Cable Card
Prior to having the card installed, I did (and still do) have HDMI from the box to the TV. Now with the card, I have a splitter (provided by Insight) from the outlet with a run to the box and a run to the TV.
I understand what you mean about the signal remaining digital all the way to the TV/Box through HDMI. I may be making a big deal about nothing, but I was just wondering if anyone experienced a crisper, cleaner picture on the cable card vs. the DVR. |

| I don't use a card, though my TV can. I have HDMI and component cable being used from the cable box (which is also DVR). I see little difference between the two to be honest, though HDMI can do 1080p, component cannot. The reason I do this setup is, component allows closed captioning, whereas HDMI does not, unless I go into the cable box menu itself and have it do it own version of CC, but it is terrible as it scroll the whole transcript regardless of where the program dialogue is during the program. |
