    I have my satellite company coming on wed to install my hd receiver, my tv only has 1 hdmi input and 1 component video input, they say that the quality of the signal will be the same either way. is that true? should i have them install my satellite using the hdmi input, or the component video input?. Should i use the hdmi for the hd dvd player i'm planing on buying?

    Honestly, I would go with the HDMI connection.

    Any new piece of equipment you buy these days always recommend using an HDMI connection for the best picture quality possible.

    Leave the Component connection for other "older" equipment that does not come equipped with an HDMI-OUT port.

    HOPE THIS HELPS!
