[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 958850, member: 65699"] Composite video cables are the old-school yellow RCA ones. You can't send 720p video through them. Component, on the other hand... A question for you is why did you buy an HD [i]TV[/i] if you're just going to use the Roku with it? You're paying extra money for parts you won't be using (HD tuner), and once you get the HDMI set up, you won't be using the extraneous inputs. HDMI capable 24" monitors sell for about half of the price of their HD counterparts. Even 28" monitors can be had for under 300 bucks, but a comparable HD TV isn't to be had in that price range. Nice to hear that Roku is working for you. The monthly fees for new boxes are ridiculous and antiquated. Sadly, I don't subscribe to netflix :( Anyhow, since you're the proactive sort, when are you going to start railing against Comcast's insanely low data transfer caps? All that HD streaming will add up. [/QUOTE]
