New RPs are coming out with DVI and/or firewire. Should one go with DVI, or both?
I cannot find any A/V receivers with DVI inputs and outputs, so until there are, one cannot do component switching with sources that have DVI.
It appears that, unless you care for HD broadcasts OTA, you are beholden to the Sat/Cable vultures who will charge you a rental to receive HD broadcasts. the info I read from Cox cable makes no mention that their set-top boxes will be DVI - so where does that leave us?
I am guessing that eventually DVI will become the standard, which means that I may just defer all those large dollar purchases until this gets worked out.
My Panny 27" wil have to do until then I guess...
Am I missing something in this logic? Please enlighten me on this issue if you can. I am sure a lot of others getting ready to buy a HT are in the same quandry.
