    alright so I finally ordered HD through dish today, when I looked at the back of my tv I don't see any Dvi or Hdmi inputs. This is extremely confusing do to the fact the front of the tv has "HDTV monitor" stated on it? I have a Hitachi 43UWX10B. I'm pretty sure it can be hooked up one way or another, but the whole reason was for "Hi-Def"?

    Can't you connect the equipment via Component Y/Pb/Pr as your right your TV doe's not have DVI or HDMI connections.

    You don't need an HDMI cable or a DVI cable to get HD content. Just hook your stuff up with a set of component cables.

    There is a hidden agenda behind HDMI. I believe the real reason for HDMI being here today is to help control piracy. I guess you could say the industry is trying to phase out analog connections and go with a "more secure" method. HDMI is a digital audio and video connection in one.

    One day, when you try to watch something, like say a Blu-ray movie, you might not be able to watch it on your tv due to HDCP. Since you don't have any HDMI inputs on your tv, it obviously isn't HDCP compliant.

    And another
