Question on HT setup (HDMI/DVI related)

[MaxTimeOff]

O.k. here is what I have:

NEC 50" HD Plasma (1 DVI input on back)
Yamaha RX-V2500 receiver
DirecTV HD Receiver (Samsung and has HDMI output) and dish
Panasonic S97S up-scaling DVD player
Various NHT, B&W, and M&K speakers

I will mostly watch television HD and otherwise from the satelite and for local stations from the HD antenna. Based on this I think I should connect the DirecTV HD Receiver directly to the plasma via HDMI/DVI. How should I hook up the up-scaling DVD remembering that there is only 1 DVI connection on the plasma? My understanding is to take advantage of the DVD upscaling I would need to use an HDMI/DVI connection. Is that correct? Is some sort of switching device necessary?

Am I on the right track? Some quick words of advice would be appreciated.

What I would do is use component video from the dish box and use the HDMI for the upscaling DVD player. The reason being, that the DVD player won't provide the upscaled signal though the component video outputs but the satellite box will.

If you want or need to use HDMI or DVI for both (as you might if/when broadcasters start encrypting HD feeds), you can get an HDMI switcher. They aren't cheap though.
