I have a Gigabyte 7900GS 256mb with dual DVI outs + SVideo. I am going to be hooking this up to my Sony SXRD 60" HDTV Rear Proj, along with my Oppo DVD player and Charter HD and PVR. What's going to be the best way to get the video to the TV? Probably wouldn't wanna run it to the Denon 2807 receiver.

Suggestions?

What inputs does the TV have? I've had great success in the past, when I had a 6800GT, simply connecting a DVI cable between video card and HDTV and everything was detected/set up automatically. If it has HDMI but no DVI, you can get a cheap <$15 DVI->HDMI adapter cable as well... (assuming one of these inputs is free, of course)

Duh, forgot.........

See I am moving into this house next weekend, it's my old childhood home. So I had the TV delivered there, so I don't have it in front of me. Just looked up the unit online.

It has a D-Sub 15pin PC port on the back. It also has two HDMI ports on the back as well. But this is what I am not sure of......

I will have a Digital Cable Box, HD DVR and DVD player. I would assume the DVD player goes right to the TV with HDMI, then either the cable box or the DVR would go with HDMI. I am so new to all this HDMI, etc..........didn't have all this years ago when I could get this cool stuff. Getting divorced is allowing to join back into the Home Theater world.
