HD box: Component or DVI?

[K10]

which will give me better picture quality on the pioneer HD box: component or dvi?

You probably won't notice any difference.. unless your TV has noisy component jacks like my cheapo Sanyo HDTV does.  DVI obviously will give you the better picture because any signal degrading won't affect picture quality.

Note that several local OTA stations send non-image data in the image pixels (WTMJ is famous for this), so a DVI may give you a line or two at the top or on one edge with VBI data or bright green/yellow lines.  Component inputs usually overscan a little, so these problems are masked (for a slight decrease in overall sharpness and some color space differences).  YMMV.

DVI is better.

Is anyone in the greater Milwaukee area getting output over DVI at anything other than 480i?  If you are, what box are you using?  I forgot to mention, using a non-DVR box!

I get the TW Cable feed in DVI from my SA-3250-HD to my

  my Sony HDTV.......        HD & every thing else looks fine!!

  However, I live in GBay, WI.

Den-

I saw another post from you about this and knew of your success.  I'm hoping for some comments from someone in the SE WI area to provide some input.  Thanks for yours.

Back when I had a set with DVI, I used that. Looked a tad bit better and freed up a componant spot.
