Mark Shea, I can only tell you this, my 9360A is connected to cable via an HD box using component connectors. The picture is impeccable. No drop outs, pixelation or anomalies have been seen. Even my SD is great. Many people complain about Cablevision but I have to tell you I cant. Last nite I reprogrammed my box as the installer(if you could him that that) screwed up the settings.
