I was going to meniton that PIP could be a situation where two connections might be useful, but that would still mean you'd be getting the same signal in both cases, if the player even sent the signal via both types at the same time (some do not).

I hate to say it, but I've recently seen the same thing when working on a system. The person was told to get a cable that connected to each output from his HD CATV box, which resulted in a lot of additional, unnecessary cost. The end result was, he was able to return one rather expensive cable that was doing nothing for him.
