Do away from component?


This weekend I am planning to install HDMI to my PJ. Right now my setup consist of 4 years ago which is S-Video and Component.

So do you think since I am planning to go HDMI, should I remove the component and S-video cables and outlets from the ceiling and wall? I am hiring someone this time to come to my home and install the HDMI cable from an outside wall (snake it) from the attic.

I been having some issues from a Playstation 3 (PS3), which my friend let me borrow and the component cable for some odd reason is not picking up by my PJ (HD70). I just confirm that the PS3 component cable does work on my 32” LCD Olivia TV set.
So I am thinking the component cable that is in my wall to my PJ is defective, but then again my little Phillips DVD player (is also HDMI ready) which is run by component is giving signal to my PJ and does put image to my screen, weird huh?

I did the reset on the PS3 and still a no go.

So I am hoping that the HDMI is the remedy to get this PS3 to work w/ my PJ and just toss the S-video and Component cables out of here. Just plan to have a clean simple look.
What is your take?

I never experience ownership of HDMI. I always been happy using component, but this PS3 and component is really getting on my nerves.

Thanks for your input or honest opinion.
