Lena,

Is component video (I perceive it becoming the fallback position for this mess at the moment) even capable of passing digital feeds when analog digital video signals are no longer sent OTA (NTSB etc)? Isn’t component cabling analog based?
Any piece of metal wire can pass a digital signal. The problem is that the component video jacks on the back of your TV aren't designed to accept a digital video signal, only analog. It's a question of interface rather than cables.

Best,
Sanjay
