HDMI cable w/o HD DirecTV

I changed out the TVs in the MH to Flat screen units and have HD-DVRs but I will be using with a Winegard Carryout that doesn't provide HD signal. Can I or should I use HDMI cable from receiver to TV or should I use the red/white/yellow RCA cable?

Thanks
  • Use the HDMI. It is still the best connection quality available and will pass the HD or SD signal equally well.
  • You may find handshake issues with HDMI re: D/hD receivers and some TV's. I know on my cheap phillips TV I often had to power down the TV to restore the HDMI between the HR-24 and my TV. I now have it wired both ways, HDMI and composite.
