I went to Comcast to get my HD cable box today. When they gave it to me, they said "hey we don't have any HDMI cables right now, so I'm gonna give you the component wires, and you can come back in a couple days and get it." I go home hook it up with out these so-called "HDMI cables" and it appears to work fine, HD channels and all. My question is, why do I need these HDMI cables and what do they do that's different than these "component wires"???
