Hook-up Question 811?

Sorry I could not find the answer in the threads, Can I use a component video only on the 811 or do I have to have an S-video foe SD programing?

I use component only for HD and SD on my 811. It works great. I did use S-video for the first few days, when I changed to component I couldn't beleive the difference it made on my plasma TV. I am going to try DVI next.

I am using DVI only for HD and SD.

Amazingly enough, my set is 720p, but the picture is better when I set the 811 output to 1080i (not 720p). Not "knock you over" better, but definitely better.

Go figure.
