Yes, the Red and White are audio cables, and the RGB is component out, 
though I'm not sure if they are analog or digital.  The old standard was 
yellow for video and that was composite (not component) video and that 
was analog.  I'm not sure about your component stuff, maybe someone else 
can give you a definitive answer.  My DVD player has some component 
outputs, but my (analog) TVs are not capable of inputting them.

DVI should be digital, and S-Video is definitely analog.  How do you 
plan to connect to your tuner card?  ie, what inputs will it accept?

If coax, we're back to the basic question is the coax input to your 
tuner card carrying an analog or a digital signal?
