Just ordered Motorola’s hi-def decoder (HDD201) for my C-Band system. 2 Questions:
1) Should the HDD201, which will be connected to my A/V receiver with component cable, be also connected with S-Video to my HTPC (which would then clean up the non-hi-def signals)? Or will component handle all signals?
2) Is Dscaler recommended for a hi-def signal? Should I feed the hi-def signals to the HTPC?
Since analog channels from the 4DTV are not handled by S-Video (thereby requiring a composite connection to my HTPC), is my solution of using 3 connections (Component for hi-def, S-Video for other digital, and composite for analog) from the 4DTV/HDD201 the right solution?
It just seems to me that 3 simultaneous connections might somehow compromise the image. Curious to hear how others have fared with their connections.
