Just a scenario I'm trying to work out before I go buying equipment for the "future".
I currently have a HTPC with DVI output (& component via Nvidia dongle).
I'm wanting to buy a new receiver with HDMI capability even though my display will only support component. I just want to make sure it will serve a new TV in the future.
So, if I fed the receiver video from the HTPC via a DVI-HDMI cable, could I then output the video from the receiver to the TV via component? Are there receivers out there that do this conversion?
OR, should I stick with component from the HTPC? Bad thing about that is the receivers I've looked at have only one component input and I already have a DVD player that will want that. Which leaves only composite, s-video and HDMI as options.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
Matt
