The board of trustees took control of the building in December and the town's cable company finished converting the building less than two weeks ago. I got my digital cable installed last week.

The only problem I had was Motorolla updated their HD/DVR boxes. The boxes now have HDMI and not DVI output. I had to shell out more cash, though less than half what I paid for the DVI cable, to get a pure digital feed to my TV. Even the Motorolla website doesn't indicate that the boxes are HDMI capable; the site still indicates they are DVI only. The box is the DCT 6412. The model number is same as what is listed on the website.

The funny thing is that my Radio Shack Accurian HD receiver had an HDMI output. I didn't buy and HDMI cable when I bought the receiver because I figured I already had a nice digital cable waiting for me when I no longer needed to watch my HD OTA.

I'm personally all for having separate video and audio connections. It's silly to use a TV's speakers watching a nice HD broadcast in DD 5.1 surround sound. I only use my TV speakers when I'm watching a non-5.1 broadcast. Otherwise I use the optical connection to my stereo.]]>Jan 30th 2006 3:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/01/30/dvi-fading-away-as-hdmi-picks-up-steam/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/01/30/dvi-fading-away-as-hdmi-picks-up-steam/Jan 30th 2006 8:17PM
