the high def reciever will do nothing for your dvd or xbox they are only for antenna and some of them for cable as well. xbox is already HD but you need the HD pack, as for dvd players the best pic that you are going to get is going to come from the new hd dvd players made by Samsung, as for your comcast it would be better to just get an antenna and an hd receiver because comcas only has like 4 or 5 hd channels in the basic package and you get twice that at least with just and antenna and they look better ( depending on were you live depends on how many you will get ) monster cable is great but with the HD pack for Xbox you can turn on all the HD resolutions in the settings menu in you Xbox under Video.
