DVD player or cable box? My TV (Panasonic PT-47X54) only has one and I'm trying to figure out the best use for it.

Try searching (this same question is asked every day). The answer is: compare component vs. HDMI for both the DVD player and the cable box to see which is best for you.

I don't have a DVD player yet with HDMI and I'm trying to figure out what's best for my TV before I go order a player.

I would probably save the HDMI for the DVD player since you there are only a handful of DVD players that allow upconversion over component. You cable box should be able to output HD over component.


That being said, I personally don't think there is a difference between HDMI and Component with the sources that I've used (DirecTV boxes).
