Hey guys,
I recently got a 23' widescreen LCD TV with HD capabilities- for the bedroom. It's a sweet ass TV and we just got an extra receiver for our Direct TV service so we can watch Cable on it now.
Problem is, that it kinda looks like crap lol, and I'm not sure why. The picture just looks banded and slightly pixelized. It's not SHARP. We don't have the HD channels yet (or HD receiver however that works), so what we're watching is just the standard Direct TV.
The TV and the Direct TV both appear to be configured correctly- so the onyl thing I can think is to maybe beef up the AV cables going from the Direct TV receiver to the TV. Right now they're just the standard cheapo's. Would this make any difference? Or should I go with the S-video cable?
Here's the TV:

Here are some monster cables that might make a difference:

Sorry- I'm not very educated in the new LCD HD TV era.(shrug)
Any advice would be awesome.
