Best practices to connect all my crap???

| Just wondering the best way to connect all of this stuff to best use
the TV's inputs, I guess the big question is what to bring in on the
HDMI, HD Cable or HTPC? If I'm not offering enough info, please advise
and I'll answer as best I can.
TV inputs:
AV1 - AV & CVI YPbPr
AV2 - AV & S-video
AV3 - Side, AV & S-video
AV4 - HDMI 2fh auto (whatever that is)
AV5 - YPbPr RGB 2fh (480p/1080i)
HD capable Cable DVR (motorola) outputs:
HDMI
YPbPr
S-video
"HTPC" outputs, mostly used as a DVD & media (AVI, WMV, MPEG etc)
player
VGA
S-Video
DVI
S-VHS VCR outputs (don't use it much)
S-video
Stand-alone Prog Scan DVD (optional)
YPbPr
S-video
Probably will bring the PlayStation on the side inputs.

You don't, by chance, have an up-converting HT receiver?
Didn't think so...
My suggestion:
HD Cable DVR ---> AV4 (HDMI)
HTPC -------------> AV1 (using a VGA to YPbPr cable)
S-VHS ------------> AV2
DVD --------------> AV5
Playstation -------> AV3

| Awesome, thanks!
Does the VGA to RCA Component connection need any "conversion" or just
a cable? What about a DVI to RCA Component cable instead? Not
arguing, just asking?
Obviously want to do this on the cheap, and those converters are
*expensive*!
