Default Question on HDMI - DVI Cable? Easy Question for you guys! Please...

My TV has an HDMI outlet

My Directv box has an HDMI outlet

I have a Monster HDMI - DVI cable.

I now want to connect the two using HDMI.

A> What is my best option?

*Buy an HDMI - DVI adapter? If so, do I need male hdmi to female dvi or vice versa? And also, what brand? Should I buy one for $3.00 or go drop the $25 at Best Buy. Suggessted brand would help

*Buy a new HDMI cable alltogether. Same question as above? Ebay? Best Buy, etc? What brand?

(right now, i am running the sound from the tv, so pic quality is my only concern here. I currently have componet. I should see a difference, no? I have a 43 inch panasonic lcd.)

B> Finally, in the future, should I decide to purchase an HDMI DVD player, how would I then connect that to the tv, since their is only one hdmi outlet? go back to using component on the cable, and hdmi on the dvd, or just plug the hdmi when I use the dvd player and leave unplugged the rest of the time?


THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
