My TV only has 2 Component video inputs, but I have 3 HD sources. I want to utilize the RGB/VGA input for my cable tv. Here is the list of issues I have questions about if I was to utilize this connection.
1. Where can I find a Component Video to RGB/VGA cable to hook up my cable box to the TV? My cable box does not have an RGB/VGA output.
2. The TV manual states that the RGB/VGA input only accepts 1080i. This is great for my HD channels but what happens to the analog channels?
3. If the analog channels don't display through the RGB/VGA connection, then my other option was to use an S-Video connection for the analog channels (both the RGB/VGA and S-video would be on the same Video 3 in order to avoid having to change the Video Input on the TV every time I want to switch to HDTV material). My question is this: Will the TV revert to the S-Video signal when it does not sense a 1080i signal through the RGB/VGA connection or will it just get confused and think I am sending a bad signal to the RGB/VGA and not display anything??
Thanks for the help,
Derek
