Why would anybody buy a DVD player with upscaling and HDMI?

I have a Blu-Ray player with downscaling and a SCART lead connected to my SD CRT TV.

Personally I preferred the 33's and 45's.

HDMI is a digital signal. If you really have a Sky+ box and a DVD player, they won't have HDMI and you'll have to use analogue only SD SCART.

I have a Sony HD tv which has several HDMI connections. I have standard Sky+ box and DVD player set up. Surround sound speakers connect via the DVD player.

So what should I be connecting to what to make use of the HDMI ?

WHS. HDMI is just another type of connection. However it has Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection functionality to ensure that certain HD signals (Sky, Bluray etc) are only viewable by paying customers.

Unless you use HD it will not be needed.
