Question to the expert: I have a Motorola DCT6200, which seems to have some reasonable specs. There doesn't appear to be an option for a pass-through, the way it is configured I need to have the box set to 1080i to get the HD signal out of the DVI connection. The only bypass appears to be by means of coax connections on the back of the cable box, described as allowing bypass if the cable box is out, and then only for standard channels.

Am I missing something? Any suggestions welcome.
