[QUOTE="natrlhy, post: 70814, member: 23624"] I'm close to buying my hardware for my HTPC. This is mainly a sanity check before I buy my hardware, cables, etc. On the back of my DirecTV HTL-HD receiver, I have the following connections: Click to enlarge [url=http://www.natrlhy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10010/HTL-HD-connections.png][img]http://www.natrlhy.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10010/normal_HTL-HD-connections.png[/img][/url] Right now I have the DVI-HDTV Out on the DirecTV receiver going to my Pioneer plasma's HDMI port. The "Out to TV" RF connector is going to an RF In connector on the plasma. This is how I watch my HDTV OTA shows. For my HTPC, I will have an Nvidia DualTV card and a Vbox Cat's Eye 150 for OTA HD recording. Would I now cable it in the following manner? DVI-HDTV Out on the DirecTV receiver to plasma's HDMI port (there are two on the plasma) DirecTV "Out to TV" going to Vbox Cat's Eye 150 (OTA HDTV recording) DirecTV "S-Video Out" to S-Video in on the Nvidia DualTV I've never been totally satisfied with the quality of S-Video display on the plasma. What other options do I have or am I just missing the concept here? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
