I figure there has to be a few home theater people here who can give me some advice. I recently purchased an HDTV and am trying to determine whether to use an HDMI connection or component video connection between my non-HD DVD player and television.

My DVD player will up-convert to 1080i, but I've heard it's kind of a toss-up when it comes to video quality. I'm currently using an S-Video connection and it looks great, but I'd like to go further up the line in video quality if possible.

Any suggestions?

Well anyway, hi there, folks. You know, I'd been having trouble with velvet leaf, uh, cutworm and, uh, foxtail and, well, that's when the representative from Monsanto came out to my farm. He recommended a pre-emergent, inferral mixture of Lorsban with Atrazine in a tank mix and I told him to get off my land. - Farmer Joel

My tv is component video. Looks pretty damn good.

In other words, HDMI can prevent you from watching content you don't somehow own or license.
