Anyone Watching Hi Def Cable TV on a Projector?

I just bought an HD DVD player and got it connected through my projector and I was floored by the picture. I am able to get 1080i resolution. Stunning. It is connected via the component video inputs. I'm wondering if I'll get similar results on the projector with the component video connections if I ordered Hi Def cable tv. I currently have satellite tv and I don't have hi def service...it looks muddy on my projector.

..thanks for your help here.

A71spud & Unclejeff,

I spoke to an attorney that lives here about the ability to get HD without buying an HD television. I told him for about $1k he could get a projector like mine and have HD from cable. He came over and saw my setup with the the projector and HD dvd and was amazed at how good the picture was for so little money. I also explained that he could get HD from cable also on the projector. He has a satellite dish with DirecTV and I explained that they wouldn't allow anyone on the roof to exchange the old dish for a new HD dish. He went down and had a talk with them. My neighbor then went down to Fry's Electronics and bought the same model of projector that I have.

I now have a new DirectTV HD dish....and so does my neighbor. The HD picture is stunning.

Huge thanks to all of you guys on Audiogon.

Many Congrats!

Really, it is not about the hassle(sp?), but more on the results.

Continue to be some of the good people.

Enjoy.
