Connection Query

My HDTV has DVI input & component inputs. Going to get a Telewest TVDrive, when it comes out!
Have seen pic’s of the system(Looks nice), http://sutties.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tvdrive/rearbig.jpg.
What would be the best connection? With component or a HDMI to DVI cable?

In theory at least, it should be the HDMI to DVI cable but experimentation may say different.

However, if the broadcaster uses the HDCP copy protection for HD content, then you have no choice, it needs to be the HDMI to DVI cable.

Cheers,

Martin.
