My TV doesn't have an HDMI input, but it does have DVI. Can I use that instead?

Yes, but you'll need a HDMI to DVI cable or adapter. You may be able to blag one off the installer - tea and biccies go down well. You'll also need separate audio cables because DVI only carries video. And if your TV doesn't support HDCP (check the TV manual) you'll be limited in what you can watch - most of the HD movies require HDCP. No, when you enable one the others get disabled - that's because the hardware isn't very good at doing both HD and SD at the same time.
