Harmony, to me is.. My recliner, a cold beer, the dog at my feet, the paper, the remote and my pipe. Life Is Good. (and soon..HDTV)

The wife took a course in Fung Sh way (?) a couple years ago.. things ain't been the same at the Casa De Big Joe..El Since'o. WE (meaning I) move funiture.. Alot.

the cable comes into the digital box and then from the digital box to the TV.

Im not very good explaining this Big K, I feel like I am not giving you all the info you need.

Stephen,

Call up the cable company or go by their office with your digital box in hand and swap it out for a digital HD box.

The regular cable digital boxes just decode the standard definition digital signals on the cable. You need a digital HD cable box and appropriate video/audio cables from the box to the television to get the HD channels.

I don't know how much your cable company charges, I pay an extra $5 a month for the box and get 20 HD channels.

I'm Hooked (up).. Got the HD box yesterday. The installer guy HAD TO hook it up the way they >HAVE TO<, to verify the signal and a working set-up when they leave.

But I Got behind there today and eliminated 3, Component cables and 2 audio cables.

Real simple stuff. 1 HDMI cable from the Sat receiver to the TV, 1 Digital Audio cable from the Sat receiver to the Bose sound system, 1 Component cable from the Bose to the TV, for the DVD player.

Turned off the TV speakers, assigned the inputs from the TV menu.

Followed the Set-up steps from the Dish HD manual. (I hated to do that, It's a guy thing ya know: I don't need no stinking instructions)

Done Deal. The KISS principle at it's best.

We Really, Really Like The High Def. It's Amazing, the Picture Clarity and the Dolby Digital, 5.1 sound is SUPER.

Life Is Good.
