811 installation

[steve617]

Yesterday I ordered a 811 reciever from dish (Upgrade lease). I found a website that showed the back of the 811 reciever. Looks like the best video signal would be DVI or the Component. I just got my Hitachi 50" Projector LCD Friday and seems like it has HDMI or Component. I did a search and see they make a cable that goes DVI to HDMI. SO what is my best choice. Component or the HDMI/DVI. Thanks for any info. Also will the cables come with the reciever. If not I want to have it ready when it gets here.

Thanks again

Steve

Component cables (and s-video and composite cables) come with the 811. DVI cables don't. I haven't seen any noticible difference between the two on my RP.
