    Second HDTV question..

    I have an HDTV receiver with 2 tuners and was wondering if I used it on a second set that had its own HD decoder could I just run a regular co-ax to this set, or do I need a very lengthy set of component cables?
    Thanks

    Only HDMI/DVI and Component are capable of outputting HDTV (720i and 1080i). With coax, composite and S-Video you are limited to SDTV.

    But in any case, your HD Cable Box has 2 tuners so that you can watch one channel while recording another channel, not for connecting two TV's. You will likely need another HD Cable Box in order to receiver HDTV on your second TV. Another option would be to see if your TV has a CableCard slot, and then contact your local Cable Provider to see if they offer CableCard's.
