    I've been using coax up until last week when my old 25-inch tube TV died.

    I'm finally upgrading to high def and will be using HDMI for Blu-ray and HDTV dish network.

    I don't have the TV yet thanks to best buy but when I do, I'll be able to see what I've been missing.

    I use coax cables to connect my antenna to my TV. With the digital transition coming, you can now get High Definition shows from your antenna using coax.

    With cable, I guess it depends on the knowledge of the person and the kind of TV they got (HD or not). Some Standard Definition (non-HD) only have a coax input. If someone has a more advanced TV and doesn't know what cable gives the best picture, they may simply grab whatever they have lying around, like coax and plug it in.

    I hate to tell you this, but the composite video cable you are using is coax. Most video cables are.

    If you are asking if people still use RF connections, the answer is yes.

    In the analog world, you are much better off using component or RGB cables if available. Composite is somewhat better than RF, though.
