Having realized after getting my new 990 and the cabling options that I've slept since I last understood the interconnects of home theaters I thought I'd ask a question.

Is there an advantage in quality comparing Component, DVI, and HDMI?

Meaning I ordered DVI because my TVs have it, only to discover that when Time Warner told me the new HD DVR had 'DVI' on it they meant HDMI and I didn't check before I ordered a little 0.5m jumper cable to go from the box to the 990.

But I've got component outs, component switching in the 990 with upconvert, and component on my TV as well.

Do I bother buying a DVI to HDMI cable and using DVI to run my TV ? or just go with component and for what I have now it's fine?

My TV is about 3 or 4 years old, got it in late 2001. My DVD player is a few years old and it has no DVI/HDMI, and then my SA 8300HD DVR has component, and HDMI out.

Thanks for your help
