Digital Video Interface i think.

I think this is what HDTV is sent over. DVD players dont do HD signals yet...

the only purpose i see for them is on the reciever for video switching, the HDTV tuner, and the HDTV

I could be 100 wrong on this though.
DVI started out as a way of digitally connecting a computer video card to a digital TV monitor, such as a LCD flat panel monitor. Now DVI is being incorporated into satellite boxes, TV's and DVD players

The DVI connection allows transmission in the "digital" format from your source(Sat/Box DVD/player)to your TV.

There is 2 version of the DVI connection, an early (or First version) and a revised version. You "CAN NOT" mix and match You must use the first version source with a first version TV and a revised version source with a revised version TV
