I see- I may have confused terms, then, because like Greg I
conceive of composite as using RCA cable. My STB- a Motorola DCT2200-
offers outputs in both coaxial form and RCA form.<br>

So what is it that runs over RCA cables?<br>

*grins* Like laws and sausage, eh? Fair enough. Part of the reason I
asked was because beyond using just what looks good, I wanted to be
able to change my recording profile to use a recording quality that
would allow the most to come through without unnecessarily inflating
the size of the transcoding.<br>

If you could clarify that one pont above, that would be really helpful! Otherwise, thanks for all the info. :)<br>
