HDTV on Cable?

207.252.23.117

Rumor has it that recent legislation will force cable companies to offer full service HDTV on cable. That is the signal will not be downconverted by the cable box. Question. When a HDTV converter is added to a TV, is it necessary to use component cables(3) from the box to the TV?
I was told that a regular single 75ohm cable will not be able to handle HDTV signals. So the TV must therefore have component inputs??
Can someone give me the correct information....please. Thanks.
