The component out does spit out HD!
The off air/cable tuner works great!!!!
My cable stuff gets upconverted and it shows up in the guide and in the index!
If I want HBO 509 I punch in 509 enter if I want local channel 11 I punch in 11 enter and the transition from dish to ant or cable or off air HD is seamless and the old dss on/off discretes work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice unit and it is standard width!
