It's really a personal preference and viewing habit decision (4:3 vs 16:9)
Of course if you have a large enough of 4:3 the effective screen size
letterboxed can be comprable to a smaller widescreen TV... I think
my wife would have been happier if I got a 4:3 as most of the content
is still SDTV.
While I'm sure there are some die hard folks out there who prefer all
things analog, a DVI ->HDMI cable is probably "best" IMHO. Assuming
that connection on your TV isn't already taken up by somethign else,
of course. Of course the VGA input is probably the "easiest". I'm a

I hate to point out the obvious (ok, but i secretly love to)... but

The MCE version of the pvr150 is pretty much driver compatible with

I may have misread the original poster, but... The PVR500 MCE doesn't
have any IR blasting action built in. So, you'd be using a 3rd party
IR blaster regardless in that scenario. But what I don't understand
