Hello-
I have an Explorer 3200 STB (non-HD non-DVR). The only outputs it has are composite out, s-video and regular coaxial cable. Unfortunately, my TV (older Sony Trinitron) does not have s-video. It only has coaxial cable and composite video inputs.

Is there any significant difference between using the coaxial cable vs. using composite video with respect to video quality? I would think it makes no difference for the analog channels but that it might make a difference for the digital channels (but I'm not sure).

Thanks,
CxP

Yes, you may notice a slight improvement on both analog and digital channels, it is worth a try to do it!!
You should be able to keep both the RF (coax) and the composite connected at the same time, change the TV input from channel 3 or 4 to the composite input and judge for yourself!!
