Multiple HDMI-enabled devices exist today. If you have several, or
perhaps more than your HDTV can accept, using a home theater receiver
to switch multiple HDMI signals could be of use to you. Beware that
some older HDMI enabled equipment don't support HDCP content
protection and will be rejected by your 'amplifier'.

What receiver, tv and other components do you have? Do you have enough
inputs on tv for all your components? Everyone has setup that fits their
personal nuiances, so it really come down to what you like,

I bought a new Marantz receiver and I run everything through it since it
handles HDMI and Component and converts RCA/S-video to component. My old
setup the SS recevier only had RCA so I ran everything through TV, and only
audio through receiver.

Now there's an intelligent answer directly dealing with COMPONENT inputs.

The real answer depends. You didn't tell us how many inputs your TV has,
how they are being used, the inputs to your amp, or even what component
you're trying to connect to your TV.

In most cases I would say go direct to the TV. If you're hurting for TV
inputs, the amp can be useful. If you have a fancy remote for your amp, it
may be easier for remote operations and programming to use your amp.
Another consideration is that some amps have video upconversion
capabilities, which in some cases may be better than the upconverter in your
TV (not usually, because f you have that high end an amp you probably have a
good tv).

For component cables, there really won't be enough difference in quality
for you to notice, if at all, between the 2 options you describe.

The only reason to use an amp or receiver for the connection is to use it
for convienence switching if you have multiple video sources.
