Is it possible to watch HDTV through a Blu Ray player?

Does seeing someone playing a Blu-Ray Disc on a big-screen HDTV with (SD) COMPOSITE cables bother anyone else?

• Let it be known that I am not a videophile. In fact, I don't own my own television monitor, and when I do watch TV, it is almost always in standard definiton, half the time on a CRT SDTV because of staying at hotels and moving around the past three years. but about a month ago... ... The first time I've ever actually seen a Blu-Ray player being used in someone's house, and not at a store, was when I was looking through my big sister's DVDs and noticing that she had a Lion King and Cars 2 Blu-Ray. At first I thought that she accidentally bought those combo packs(some of the releases by Disney use DVD packaging instead of Blu-ray Packaging) and just saves the extra discs, But then I saw that her DVD player had the Blu-Ray logo, she said they got is as a wedding gift in May 2011. She of course has a big HDTV, something like 50 inches, and when I popped in the Lion King... and then later watched Cars 2 .. it is plugged in with a cheap-*** yellow, red, and white cables like the kind that come with a 1991 Super Nintendo... or a DVD player. Any Hi-definiton enthusiasts who who are sickened by this? Both the people giving her the gift were too cheap or clueless to buy her the High Definiton Multimedia Interface Cable (HDMI), and the manufacturere was just... diabolical to not include it. Hey, I don't mind people watching a DVD on a giant HDTV, even though I prefer to watch my DVDs on a 20 to 27-inch SDTV with the lights dimmed (not totally off) and the sound up and black bars on the top and bottom assuming it is at least a 16:9 presentation, since that was cutting-edge only a few years ago. And it doesn't insult modern HD technology because there is none involved. You get what you pay for. And stuff like a used AKIRA 2001 Special Edition, Toy Story 3 and Tangled still look great on DVD this way. ... but .. four to six times higher resolution is almost the only useful feature of Blu-Ray. and they are paying extra for rentals. But I do admit Cars 2 does look better in Blu-Ray, even with this caveman yellow video cable, only if you look at the spaces between the character's teeth/similar thin lines, the edges don't have that "electric moving edge" look. But it's just as blurry. But if you watch the standard def DVD on something like a laptop, the little artifacts are blurred away anyway. Cheap manufacturer should just include the HDMI cable! You shouldn't have to buy one separate (if you are not very savvy, they all seem to cost upwards of $18 to $24, and even the Amazonish $10 is too much when it shoudl be included with the disc player!
