I have a Sony 51" 16:9 format. I currently have Dish 500 Recevier connected to the TV via coxial cable. The picture flickers and the sound crakles on some channels, could it be that the wire is bad? Also what is the difference between a Coxial Cable vs a S Video Cable. Thanx.

Was that an insult?

If it only happens on certain channels then it is not your connection. Connection would make all channels bad. Svideo can give you a better picture than coax.

S-Video, a technology for transmitting video signals over a cable by dividing the video information into two separate signals: one for color (chrominance), and the other for brightness (luminance). When sent to a television, this produces sharper images than composite video , where the video information is transmitted as a single signal over one wire. This is because televisions are designed to display separate Luminance (Y) and Chrominance (C) signals. (The terms Y/C video and S-Video are the same.)

And component video, the what is it... Cran Magenta, something else, skips even more processing in the TV for a more true, better picture.

No, thats not an insult. If it's not my connection, then it could be the receiver itself. I know its not my TV because all three CRT's were replaced like 2 weeks ago and were calibrated. I called the dish network people and they said that it could be the connection between the Receiver and the TV. I'm gona replace the cable tommorrow, thats why I asked which is better coxial or s video. Oh ya by the way DISH NETWORK'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CAN SUCK A BIG ****
