One HDMI input on TV; Cable or DVD?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I have a Tosh DLP with one HDMI input. What would be a better use for
that input, running my digital cable into it so I can enjoy some
improvement(?) in HD and digital cable PQ, or running my DVD player into
it so that it can enjoy the benefit of that input?
In short, which will see the largest noticeable gain in PQ, cable or DVD
running through HDMI?
Thanks in advance

Easy answer, get an AV receiver that uses DVI switching. That way you feed
both DVI to the receiver and the receiver output to the single HDMI
connection on the TV. Problem solved and now you have killer surround sound
setup!

I agree to save the HDMI for the cable box.

That is true about Terminator 2 being available in high definition. It
comes with the Terminator 2 Extreme Edition DVD. There is a version of the
movie encoded using Windows Media 9 included on one of the discs. I imagine
you'd have to play this using your PC though so you'd have to have a HTPC
hooked up to your TV unless you have a DVD player that supports WMV9.
