maybe someone can help i have a 42'' hd plasma from dell i had someone install it and they used component hook up, i also have a hd recierver from direct tv(no tvo) i noticed on most of my pictures a slight bluryness around numbers and lettering on the screen and some faces especially football and baseball game like the scores players numbers etc. some of the movies when the picture fades to black and switches to the next screen i can see alittle snow in the black. i was recomended to use hdmi hook up does anyone think this will solve the problem or is dvi hook up better. well as for that which one should i use thanks again

HDMI and DVI are the same when it comes to PQ, don't know if either one would solve your problem. Are you seeing these issues on HD channels, SD channels or both?

Directv's digital channels are not as good as cable's digital channels, b/c directv has to compress each channel more than cable inorder to fit 800+ channels on one satellite. However, digital cable is not 100% digital. All of the channels that you can receive without a cable box (basic cable channels) are analog. Though, I have heard that some cable companies are now starting to broadcast these channels in both digital and analog.
As for Directv's HD channels, I cannot say if they're compressed or not, b/c I don't know.
