I have a 550 series Sony Blu Ray Player and I am hooking it up to an older Olevia 720p tv. I want another new Sony but it will have to wait until Spring.

Anyhow, the Olevia only has 1 hdmi port which goes to the Dish box.
I hooked up the blu ray player with a hdmi cable to a 'multiple outlet' hdmi box with 2 hdmi ports. The out port on the player goes to the hdmi outlet box There is nothing else going into or out of the multiple hdmi box.

I also have component cables going from the tv to the player.

I am thinking that I still do not have the best connection that I can have because I think I should have a hdmi cable going from the tv to the hdmi multiple outlet box , one from the player to the hdmi box and one from the dish receiver to the outlet box. So, I should be using 3 hdmi cables and then I can lose the component cables.

Am I correct?


The player is working now , but I think it is running off component instead of hdmi. I know I will not get full capability until I get a 1080p tv, but I am trying to get the best picture until I do.

Thanks!
