Yeah mine too (1 component, 1 DVI, but >1 HDMI).  When we got the TV the 
salesperson talked in great length about HDMI and I thought it was 
because we were considering the Shaw box as well, hence the thought that 
the Shaw box used HDMI.

I wonder what people use their HDMI ports for then if not for their HD 
boxes?  I guess you can find DVD players that use them, but given the 
high expense of HDMI cables while offering about the same quality as 
component I can't see why you'd want to go that route.  Although 
admittedly, it would be nice to use something other than my Xbox for 
playing DVD's (the Xbox is claiming the only composite input jack).
