I recently upgraded my home theater system. I have a Sony Bravia XBR 46" (KDL46XBR9)
Pioneer Elite A/V receiver (VSX-81TXV)
Samsung Blue Ray (BD-P3600)
DirecTV HD DVR satellite receiver

Question: When I advised the installer that I wanted the flexibility of watching TV without the A/V receiver being on, he then connected the TV via the video component input. How much video HD quality am I giving up going video component vs. HDMI for the flexibility?

What did he connect with component? In theory everything should be connected with HDMI for best PQ. In practice there isn't always much difference if any depending on equipment used. You don't need a receiver to use HDMI.
