I just got digital cable today, using a scientific atlanta 3250 stb. What's the best cable to use to output from stb to tivo (composite, coaxial)? Too bad it doesn't have s-video output :down:

he composite will have better quality that the coaxial (RF).

Ask your cable company for a STB with S-video out.

Agreed, composite is better than RF.

Anything is better than RF. Also, with RF you most likely will lose stereo audio.

The order for video outputs goes like so... (best to worst)

DVI/HDMI
Component
S-Video
Composite (aka RCA)
RF
