    pffttt.. the quality of cable depends on the tuner you have from your cable provider NOT your dvd player which will not have a cable decoder etc in it.. and most of it is blocky crap mpegs

    If you're talking about a regular dvd player, it's not going to work. Not possible.
    If you're talking about an HTIB (home theater in a box) with built-in dvd player, the receiver part of it must upconvert everything to HDMI, for what you want to do. Most cheap HTIBs can't do this. It's only the higher end, than entry level, receivers that do this (maybe $600 and above). The tv should be upscaling the pic, as much as it can be. You should be using digital cable too, for best quality picture.

    I will go through with ps355528 that the quality of cable depends on the tuner you have from your cable provider....
