What type of picture quality do you get if you hook a coax cable to an HD TV? I know a cable box gives you optimal picture quality. It's an xmas idea for my grandmother, she has an ancient TV and thought this may be better than what she has now. She doesn't have a cable box and won't want to spend the monthly charges for the equipment. Is the picture quality better than an old school tube tv?


Answer
It depends. HDTVs in the U.S. all come with at least two tuners, one for over-the-air digital and one for old-style analog. If your new TV has only those two tuners and you connect it to basic cable service (no box), you can expect the cable channels to look worse than on the old TV. The reason is an HDTV is a digital receiver, and it must compromise an analog signal in order to display it.

Now, most HDTVs come with an optional 3rd tuner, QAM. That's for unencrypted digital channels on the cable, and most cable systems have them. Some of those channels will be in HD and will look as good as any HD source. QAM channels are mainly the local broadcast stations.

Caveat: the days of unencrypted digital channels on cable in the U.S. are numbered. In fact, the point will eventually be reached where there are no channels at all that don't require some type of set top box. The FCC is lifting some of those requirements at the end of 2012, so anyone investing in something related to basic cable today needs to plan ahead for the eventual requirement to upgrade to a box.
