Component can do all the way up to 1080i. I have actually read it can do 1080p as well, but haven't seen it in action.

As for the OP - If money is a problem, I would just go component. With all of the compression and crap going on, I doubt you would see the difference on a satellite signal anyway. Be aware that you will have to run 2 more cables for audio as well, bringing it to a total of 5 cables.

If the extra money for the HDMI cable and splitter isn't a problem, then do that as it will be way easier.
