My BeoVision 7 32" has a DVI input for HD TV. What ist the difference between DVI and HDMI input? Would I need an adaptor to watch HDTV or is DVI also good for watching HDTV?

Main difference is that HDMI includes sound cables, but DVI does not. Also HDMI supports copy protection.

You can buy a convertor to go from one to another, on a purely video level, the signals are the same.

No problems with watching HDTV, other than you will need seperate cables for the audio.

DVI also supports the copy protection (HDCP).
