Using an HDMI connection

[NoCalMike]

Ok so when you hook up normal analog connections on the back of a TV it is usually marked as Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 etc.....so for example if your PS2 is plugged into Video 2, then you have you put the TV on Video 2 to play the PS2, DVD player to Video 3 and you have to have it on VIdeo 3 to watch DVDs......so since this will be my first experience with an HDMI connection, how does it work once it is hooked up, is HDMI classified as it's own video channel, ala you keep pressing the video button on the remote and it cycles through Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, then HDMI, or will HDMI be labled as "Video #" like any other connection?

My TV does it like this:

 

Video 1, Video 2, S Video, Channels (accesible by the TV/Video Button)

 

and

 

Component 1, Component 2, DVI, Channels (accesible by the TV/Comp button)

 

I have my Gamecube hooked up to Video 1, DVD Recorder Hooked up to Component 1 and my Directv Receiver hooked up to the DVI (through an HDMI-DVI cable).

Well I bet if I look at the remote it might answer my question.

New TVs give HDMI/DVI their own input.

Yeah you'll have an HDMI input channel, usually after a few component video input channels. The way my Toshiba has it is VID 1, VID 2, VID 3, COMP 1, COMP 2, and HDMI.

Well mine is all hooked up, VID1, VID 2, VID 3, HD COlor Stream 1, HD Color Stream 2, ANT 1, ANT 2, HDMI.
