I have just bought a HTPC and am wondering which is the best way to connect it to my 32" LG LCD TV. The video card in the HTPC is this: SAPPHIRE HD 3650 512MB DDR2 PCI-E
The TV only has 1 HDMI socket (old TV), and that is being used by my Sony DVD recorder. The other connections are component, s-video and scart.
I will be watching normal DVD's and .avi files as well as listening to music.
To my (uneducated) mind I think the component connection will be the best bet. Then again would it be worthwhile getting some kind of HDMI splitter so i could use that connection?
Lastly, I'm looking to do it on the cheap, so please, no suggestion of gear that costs hundreds!!!
Well, over to you all and many thanks in advance...
