SVideo is an analog video output. It is better than composite,
which is better than RF (coax channel 3 or 4).

The available high-definition outputs are likely to be component
(three wire analog), FireWire (digital) and DVI/HDMI (digital).

All of these are the outputs from the cable box to the TV or MythTV
tuner, and are not to be confused with analog cable channels or digital
(QAM) cable channels, both of which might be fed to the cable box in
this scenario.
