What is the Benefit of DVI Besides HTPC Interface?

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

DVI is instrumental in providing a better quality image on LCD screens due to the fact that they utilize digital inputs to turn pixels on and off. So, on PC's I can understand not wanting to go from Digital to Analog and back to Digital. But, CRTs and RPTVs utilize RGB. Does it really matter (i.e. is there video degradation) if the digital to analog conversion is done in the TV or by an external set top box?
I am pondering this question as I look at last year's RPTV models without DVI inputs versus this year's RPTV models with DVI inputs.
