You don't need HDMI cables for an HD signal, but if you want to get maximum resolution for your tv (1080 p) you do.
The short answer is no, you do not need HDMI Cables just to get an HD signal. BUT HDMI cables transfer the higher-resolution images at a faster rate, giving you a much better picture.
