I am buying a Directv receiver and it is connected to the sattelite via coax. How does it produce a HD picture when it is connected to the sattelite through a coaxial cable?
3 Responses to “How can an HD Receiver be connected to the sattelite by coaxial cables and still be HD?”
In regards to your question, the HD Receiver even if connected by coaxial cables still will produce an HD picture for the following reason: you’re HDTV set has an HD tuner already inside and since your set is HD compatible it does not require an HDMI cable to produce HD picture. HDMI is only used to produce HD pictures through HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Players
The connection from your satellite to your set top box carries a digital signal. Coaxial cable is capable of carrying digital signals as well as analog video. The satellite sends out a stream of 1′s and 0′s. The satellite simply receives these digital signals and the coaxial cable carries them to your set top. Your set top converts the signal to video and then passes the HD signal to your television via a HDMI cable or RGB cable.
