Okay, so folks, I'm officially entering the 21st century and getting a Plasma TV. 

Here's my question for you guys who already have one.  The TV has 4 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, and 1 RF/Coax.

My question is: which would give better picture quality, the composite, or Coax, if coming right from the receiver(only has Coax, Composite, and s-video)?

Currently I'm going through S-video to my old CRT TV, but since the new one won't have that, my only choices would be the other two.

I'm afraid that all whose options will give bad picture quality.. :(

The receiver is DTV only so...  :P  I'll get a HD one later on, but for the time being..   I plan to use the DVD and Wii through component, but I want to know which is the best of the worst RF/Component

I'd go with the composite. In my experience, coax seems to make the picture a little blurry.

Consider just trying both of them...and see which you like better. Coax and composite cables are cheap.

Also, if you go with composite, you only have to worry about putting the TV on the composite input, with coax, you have to put the TV into TV mode and make sure you are on the right channel.  I've always preferred composite over coax for this reason...

Most TV's nowadays have channel-locks which will lock the channel to 3 or 4.  Also, I only need to worry about programming the sat remote to turn the tv on and off, the rest of it is used through the DVR to change channels :B
