I have a quick question. I will be connecting my cable through the Cablecard slot on my HDTV. I also have a DVD-Recorder. Should I run the Rf cable through the DVD-R, then to the HDTV? Alternatively, should I split the RF cable and run one to the HDTV and the other line to the DVD-R? Obviously, I want to maximize the HD signal to the TV.
You should split the cable and send the DVD signal to the TV using composite cables. If your DVD sends out a signal through the coax port, your TV will not get the full range of channels when the DVD is playing (or possibly even if it is on).
