DVI vs. Component Help

Hi,
I've got a Samsung HDTV DLP TV and a Samsung DVD player both with 1 DVI connection. My Samsung Directv receiver also has DVI out to my TV. I'm looking to get a new audio receiver, but am not seeing any new receivers with DVI input/outputs. Why is this? Is component just as good as DVI?

DVI switching (at least what I have found) is only available on the VERY HIGH end receivers.

A DVI switch similar to these, may be the way to go for now.

If your TV is one of the newer Samsung DLP's it has a HDMI input also. An easy way is to get a DVI to HDMI adapter which will allow you to use your DVD and Direct TV receiver. Component is good but not as DVI or HDMI, but if your DVD player has a DVI use it thats the only way you can use the up-converting feature on the DVD.
