If you've got HDMI, stick with it. It's the best there is.

HDMI = High Definition Media Interface
This is the only cable that will transmit HD signals and digital video/sound...
S-Video is old and obsolete!!!! Think VCRs... LOL

You don't mention make or model of your HD TV, but most... have separate input selects for DVI/HDMI. When the TV remote is set for "AV" the yellow red & white wires will act as the input. When you switch to "DVI/HDMI" on the remote, then (and only then) will you see any HD inputs.

Don't bother with the s-video. You don't need it if you have HDMI; it takes care of everything, video & audio and is the best quality.

No, HDMI are for the hd setup while s video wont give you an hd image although theyare more expensive they are worth it
