HDMI vs. DVI

[Directv user]

Any advantage to either connection for HD.(HDMI/DVI) My TV has HDMI inputs.
Still tryiing to figure out what box D* will give me. Trying to avoid Samsung 360.

What is wrong with the 360? I have had one for almost a year and haven't had any problems.

I have two Samsung 360's. One for over a year and the other for 8-9 months in the family room. Never had a single problem with either one.

If you call D* directly and order a HD receiver, you'll almost undoubtedly get an H-10.

If the installer has OTHER hardware, you might get something else, but no guarantees.

(Only the H-10 has HDMI, mind you.)

As far as picture advantage between HDMI and DVI there should be none.

Oh, FYI...

The 360... Is currently having a picture problem on HD channels... blocks/Freezeframe/etc...

*sigh*

you obviously don't watch ABC-HD and FOX HD feeds from NY or any of the ESPN movies.

HDMI is the digital connection but also carry both video and audio on that one cable, and is also slight different cable then the DVI

HDMI and DVi have the same PQ as either of them.

DVI is also digital, they are both full digital the only difference is how sound travels on them, sound dosent on the Dvi and sound does on hdmi--I Believe that is it, right hdtvtechno am I missing something???
