How does the picture through composite compare to dvi. I have an older 52" (1080i)tv with a dvi. The dvi is conected to a direct tv hd box through a hdmi/dvi converter and I am pretty satisfied with the picture. I have several composite hookups left. I guess I just don't want to connect and unconnect between sat and hd dvd.
On my 52inch, composite looks better than dvi (colors are moor accurate and detail is the same) but I have a toshiba standalone and they have issues with dvi to hdmi connections. My t.v. is older as well (3 yrs) so that could be it to. Best thing to do is just hookup both and see what your eye's think.
