Do (m)any new TVs have DVI in addition to HDMI? I can't see the point
if you can easily get an adapter so you can still connect DVI. I guess
some TVs may have a regular VGA input.

I'd suggest using a DVI-HDMI cable for video, and SPDIF (possibly coax
if you cannot get a long enough optical one) for audio to keep things
digital. Not sure about max cable lengths though if the system is a
considerable distance from your TV.
