So if these do smear to some degree is there anything else out there better to label HDMI, Component, Coax and RCA cables?

I have seen something called Moose Tags that looks like regular plastic instead of rubbery. Not available through Amazon, see http://www.moosetags.com. Haven't tried them yet.

I use my Dymo LetraTag for creating bacle or cord labels. They are fantastic for this purpose. Clear printing, no smearing, easy to read, sticks well.

I have never had anything come off unless I wanted it to. I have used these for years.

If it has yellow red white connections Which I think is rca you are good I have it hooked to a old tube TV with rca or yellow red white connections. Also this d-link has rca and hdmi No coaxial connections if you decide to get a flat screen tv that is not smat TV that has hdmi. Also if it just has yellow and white connection then you can get a Y audio cable that combines the red and white part of the rca connections to fit In the white connection then you just plug in the yellow to make it complete.

Fuzzy lines that are not all the time mean interference. Search Amazon for "ferrite bead" and get one of the ferrite clips. I have them on all of my HDMI cords. Usually the reason to buy more expensive HDMI cords is because they are more insulated to prevent interference, but it is cheaper to get a clip on ferrite bead. If you only have one, clip it on the side with the monitor/tv. You can clip it on both sides of the cord if you have multiple. I just want to note that if you have fuzzy letters or image, then there might be a resolution conflict. For example, you are outputting 1080p when your screen only supports 720p. Another common problem that causes blurryness is overscan in screens which cuts off the edges of the image and then resizes the image to fit full screen. They do this because cable television usually comes in with weird white lines on the edges and overscan removes that. You can sometimes disable this in the screen's settings. Hopefully this solves your problem!

We use the label tape to label fire alarm, Security and CCTV devices. We also use it to label almost all of our cable.

It's the clear plastic covers on the ends of the cables. I made the mistake of not removing them at first and was about to post about how they wouldn't connect, but they do. Work fine on both my tv and the soundbar that I have it connected to.

I also highly recommend the Blue Rigger HDMI cable that can be purchased through Amazon. They're the best cables for the price and they are in-wall rated so you can safely run them through your walls for a clean mount.

Yes, that's what it does -- RCA (or s-video) to VGA. It works, but the quality is very poor.

Yes. Any time you have unused connections within your cable system, such as an unused port on a splitter or power amp, you should terminate it with a 75-ohm terminator. This can prevent signal loss, "ghost" images appearing on your screen, etc.F Type 75 Ohm Terminator - 10 Pack

Greetings: You have an option to test the cables and the device on a home TV fitted with RCA A/V imput connections; or, consult YouTube-related instructional videos for suggested trouble shooting/cable modification. Please be aware of the proper TV video formats: PAL vs NTSC!

If the cable company equipment has component OUT, and your TV has component IN, then you will probably get the best picture doing that, unless you spend much more than this device costs. I have an older Flat screen that has 1 HDMI port and component IN. The HDMI port went out. I purchased this, and the picture was good, but had some noise (white spots here and there). Plus most services on my Apple TV gave me HDCP errors and I was not able to view them...which was frustrating because it has "HDCP" written on the case. I returned it and just stuck with component for now. It is not as great a pic as HDMI, but it is still very good.

Component and HDMI are supposed to handle the same quality of signal. There are those who would debate the quality of component over HDMI but I have not been able to tell with my eyes any visible difference in picture quality. Sometimes cable length is an issue though, so be aware that a 15' cable or longer *might* degrade the signal quality. Hope that is helpful to you.

Its normally depends on what youre watching, the hdmi cable quality among other things! Id call rca for clarification

Spend the extra money to get top of the line coax cables with heavy casing to protect from electrical interference. Check out cables.com for good prices.

I am not 100% sure. You may or may not need a digital coverter because HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal.

I am certain you can buy a higher quality HDMI cord but the question is, "Will I be able to tell the difference in quality?" I really don't think so.

They must be used to adapt coaxial cable into your vintage TV. They usually work well, but can introduce "buzzing" on certain sets. They also can fail over time and cause reception problems. It's best to have a few of these at hand if you have vintage TV's.

Hard to tell from your description. Most Cable is digital now. I don't know about charter cable. Usually with digital you either have a good picture or no picture. Sometimes digital can have pixilation, which looks blotchy, like small squares blinking randomly. In any case, if you can get a good signal one one TV close to your main feed, this should help you. Other things to keep in mind. Make sure all your connector are installed properly (good crimp so the fitting is not popping off of the coax cable and sufficient length center conductor). Also all fittings need to be tight to prevent interference. Hard to tell from your description. Most Cable is digital now. I don't know about charter cable.
