The other advantage of DVI is that there are no fears of ground loop
issues.  I used to use the tv-out of my PVR-350 and analog audio out,
and had buzzing and weird picture issues.  When I upgraded my box and
my tv, I went with a DVI->HDMI cable (can be had for under $10 if you
go to the right places online), and optical audio and eliminated these
problems.

A VGA->component converter is considerably more expensive as well.
