Looks like you may only get analog cable.





As far as HD programming is concerned, your cable box is useless. Try to connect the cable directly to the RF input in your TV and see if you get any digital channels. At some point, you need to call your cable provider and ask for HD service.Will i still get hd programming if i connect my cable box to my hdtv thru rf?
Cables aside, it doesn't sound like you even have an HD cable box. There's no way to get an HD signal from coaxial or composite (yellow RCA). You don't miraculously get an HD signal by running an HDMI cable between components.





Call your cable company and ask them for an HD box. You'll have to pay a few bucks more every month, but it's worth it. The box may even come with a set of component cables (red, green, + blue)! That will will you an improved picture over what you have right now, but for the best HD signal, get an HDMI cable.
The yellow plug is composite. You won't be able to get HD from that plug. You need HMDI or component outputs on your cable box to receive HD programming on your TV. Contact your cable company for an HD box. HD programming service comes with the upgraded box. May cost an additional $10.
I think so, if it lacks any others, as an HDTV can receive HD signal through the coaxial input. Mine does, but it could be different on yours.
You'll get the Channels, but the signal is NOT HD...





You must use either the HDMI or COMPONENT output jacks on the cable box to deliver HD signal to your HDTV set....





And if you don't have it, you just get normal Low Def TV signals....
