What type of coaxial cable should I have running from my room wall to my Com cast basic HD box?

Q. I have a Com cast basic HD set top box(don't know what they call it that) and I have an Insignia advanced serious 32 inch 1080 p LCD HDTV,120HZ(model number ns-l32x-10a)

and I also have an HDMI cord running from the back of the box into HDMI 3 on my TV.
Right now the cable from my old digital box is connected to my TV and to the wall

A. RG-6 coaxial cable should work fine. If you want, you can try a higher-quality RG-11 coaxial cable (such as Monster), but the price is significantly higher and probably won't yield any better results, unless you have a lot of fluorescent lights around your house or something else causing lots of RF interference. Most important thing to do is to make sure that the connectors are screwed on tightly to both the wall outlet and the cable box.


why watching DVD movie on HDTV not full screen?
Q. I have Samsung 46" HDTV 120hz. Every time I'm watching DVD movies, the picture 16:9 is so small (not full screen) When I zoom it, some of titles are cut. Please help.
I figured out by changing the setup on my panasonic upscalling dvd player. The viewing not full screen but good size of 16:9 widescreen.

A. First of all you must setup the DVD output format, this is done when no disc is in the player and using the menu buttons to navigate through the pages of menus.
Secondly you must realize that Hollywood doesn't make movies in 16x9 formats. They actually use many different size ratios dependent upon what feel they are going for. The TV manufacturers decided upon 16x9 because movies rarely ever go above this ratio for the vertical height. So TV broadcasters and made for tv movies will usually fill your screen if in HD, normally your movies will have a black bar on the top and bottom. The size of these bars are dependent upon the movie. Also make sure you are watching widescreen versions of the movie.


Whats the best hdmi cable to use for cable box to tv?
Q. I just bought a new hdtv, 120hz Mitsubishi and my cable picture isnt that good, i had cable company repair cable and im receiving perfect signal to my cable box but my picture still not that good, is there a particular brand or style of hdmi cable i need?

A. Since you have a cable box and it has an hdmi slot/cable then im sure it is hddct.I would think either the settings on the tv are way off or your cable box is not set to output hd or your not on the hd channels.I work for mediacom and just like comcast we have just a section for hd in the 702-793 channel set.All other ch are still sd.I have dish network and have the option for only hd to be shown.Depending on the cable box you can try to hit the cable button on remote then power then menu and you can go from there and check settings.I can guarantee that signal is not the issue as with digital/hd low signal will pixilate or no pic at all.
