im puting together a media center pc for a friend and he wants to be able to watch regular tv and HD tv on it. he has digital cable that will be conected to the computer and the computer will be conected to his LCD tv. how should the computer be conected to the cable box? the cable box has coaxial and HDMI i think if its conected with coaxial will he be able to get HDTV from it?

From what I understand, soon the only way to view HDTV is going to be through HDMI cabling for piracy prevention reasons. So if you're considering creating a new setup, I would go with the HDMI.

Just out of curiosity do you have a link for that?
