is the quality still the same if you use a HDMI-DVi cable as opposed to a HDMI-HDMI cable?

Speedz I can't tell you, I have only ever tried with the DVI, all I can say is the quality is phenomenal. I can't imagine there would be that much difference.

I haven't tried it yet myself but I don't think it'll work. The space between you HDMI plug and your normal componant plug is too small for you to be able to connect both at the same time. I could be wrong, like I said I haven't tried it yet, but that's what I think. I bought the special D-SUB (VGA) cable connector thingy. Which is the best IMHO.

I'm lucky enough that my PC monitor has an HDMI port so I don't have to get the special cable, but it might be interesting to see if there would be a dif (if any).
