this is in reply to marvin with picture, no sound.
I had the same problem. purchased hdtv and exchange cable box for hdtv cable box. using hdmi cable had great picture no sound. Check the settings on your cable box remote. Press settings twice, should read current settings. go to audio control, set at fixed no variable. Then go to audio digital out. scroll to hdmi, hit select. you should get picture and sound. don't know how important, but i use the audio l/r just below the hdmi inputs. hope this helps.

RE:kendinlv
Maybe you need some kind of HDMI converter. To convert one kind of signal to another.
RE:others
Maybe your Sharp HD TV has some problem.
RE: If your laptop has HDMI port, it means that your computer can output HDMI signal. eg, you can connect your computer to the display that has a HDMI port.
RE:Yeah, the HDMI signal is dependant on the source, not HDMI cable or converter.
RE:"I just bought a HDTV and I have a HD cable box. My receiver doesn't have a HDMI plug, only S connector and component cable. Should I connect the tv to cable with HDMI and use component cables from receiver to cable, or can I only use one? "
Please make sure that your receiver can display high definition signal, such as 720P, 1080P. As you know your HDTV is high definition source, it can only be displayed on the display machine that have ability to display high definition HDTV signal.

I have a HDTV with 2 HDMI slots, a Duel Tuner DVR HD cable box, a HD DVD player, VCR, XBOX 360, WII, and a Surround Sound System, if I use HDMI cables for 2 things does that mean I will not need component cables or HD audio cables or optical digital audio cables for the 2 things I use the HDMI cables for? "
If you choose HDMI output and input, then you only have to use one HDMI cable as the HDMI can transmit both audio and video. If you use other component video source machine, then you can use a HDMI converter to convert the component video to HDMI, you can use HDMI converter from Gefen, Grandbeing, etc.

Also, please tell me the best way to hook up all these things? What type of cables do I need?
Should I use HDMI, S, Digital Optical, and Component cables for each thing or do I only need one?

If the cable TV signal from the wall in my house is carried on a coaxial cable, hasn't the signal already been down-converted to analog? So the HDMI cable is only good for the connection between the cable box and the TV. Is that correct?

Hi, I just bought a brand new Sharp HD TV. There are 3 inputs for HDMI. I connected the HDMI cable from the cable box to the TV but when I turned on the TV, I get no audio - only a picture. I tried the other slots and same result. Why is that?

Kendinlv: Is your receiver an all in one home theater with a DVD player or is it a stand alone receiver to get surround sound?

If the cable coming from the dish (on the outside of the house) into the dish receiver (box) is a coaxial cable then doesn't that mean that it has been compressed and the quality already diminished?

You can go directly to your TV with you want and get HD.
But, if you use a cable box, the cables from the cable box to the TV sends an analog signal to the TV. Your TV has to reconvert it back to HD which loses some quality. The HDMI cable sends the HD signal directly to TV.

I don't get all this. My signal comes in from the cable company through a coaxial cable, right? It goes to the cable box and then I need some fancy expensive connecting wire to get great picture and sound. But this is the same picture and sound that are originally brought to me by the cable company's coaxial cable. Why can't I just use a coaxial cable from the box to the TV? This whole thing just doesn't make sense.
