Why in the hell would you do that?
I guess you could take RF all the way to HDMI but it is still going to look like RF.
[edit]Oh and you need a converter box to convert between S-Video and Component[/edit]

Yes it is an analog signal. But (I could be wrong here), the conversion requires electronics to bridge s-video to component.

You won't find a component cable. That requires and active adapter. You can find a composite cable though.
Just because something is analog or digital doesn't mean that a cable can be pinned out to make it work. (unless you're in a movie, then you can make a USB to S-100 bus with some paperclips and chewing gum)

err, that is not really an s-video cable. That is a breakout cable. S-Video cable has 4 pins. 2 ground (1 and 2) , 1 luma (3) , 1 chroma (4).

That ebay seller is an idiot. Hopefully people don't fall for that, that is for video cards.
S-video cables have 6 pins and a block like so:

lulz, the 2 next to the plastic peg are not pins, they are indentations like the one on the "top" part. Guides so you don't plug it in wrongly. Also serve as retention crevice. The socket has "spring loaded" mechanism for those slots.
