Hello. Glad to have found this forum.
I'm moving into a new house soon and I have the opportunity to do some work on it, ie, put cables behind the wall, place the outlets where I want, etc. Also, I'll be getting a new computer and we're gonna go HDTV for a new TV as well. In short, pretty much a clean slate. Except for the home theater audio system, which is a JVC RX-6022V receiver and a JVC progressive scan DVD player.
It looks like the HD signal will come from a Comcast HDTV tuner (cable), and I think a wire going from the computer to the TV would have to go about 20-25 ft. I've used computers since the 80's, but I'm new to the idea of a media computer and have never had an HDTV before.
What should I make sure the computer has, especially in a video card? Are there cards with HDMI out or should I stick with DVI out, and then a digital out from a sound card? And then what would be the best way to connect the computer, cable hd tuner, tv, dvd player, and audio receiver to get max quality?
Thanks for your help.
