The way I understand it is HDTV is more popular in the US while digital TV is a buzzword in the UK (even though you hear the latter in the US). Digital TV, in the UK at least seems to take after the concept of a DVD where you have value added services such as interactive menus and never before seen videos. Am I correct?

Can you play a DVD on an HDTV using a PC and HDMI cable?

We recently bought an HDTV and I’m going to buy an HDMI cable. Do we need to buy an upconverter for watching movies, or could we use one of our laptops instead, which both have DVD players? Will a PC have lesser quality than watching the movie through an upconverter? Are there any special things we’d need to do to set the resolution with the PC? Thanks!

Hi there. I will buy tomorrow Sony HDTV with a Sony home theater system and PS3. I also have a cable box (NOT HD) at home that I’ll be using. So, I would like to know what cables should I use and how should I hook it up (from what to what). I’ll be using PS3 as a DVD player but I’d like to connect it to my home theater system. I’d like also to connect cable box directly to TV. Please help.
