Am having dish network installed on Saturday, I have a ED plasma TV. I ran all of the cabling in the wall as component video. I just found out that the only box from Dish netowrk that uses component video is the HDTV box which is about 20 dollars a month more. IS there any way to change the regular video into component video or to make this work without having to pay for the HDTV box since my TV isnt HD?

component video cable and composite video cable is the same type of cable just more of them(but the composite video is the basic quality connection. you can also find svideo converters that take 2 of the component video cables and uses them for y and c(probably needs more explanation if you're not familiar with the different types of cables). if you're using a surround receiver some have a upconverting circuit in them(converts 1 type of cable to another type). and lastly edtv's can accept a hdtv feed and it will look better than a non-hd box on your tv. it won't run at true 1080i or 720p but it should look pretty good!!! if you bought a good name brand plasma.
hope this helps
