I am a little late jumping in on this. Just got home from a Christmas party. You should be able to connect your DVD and other peripherals using the standard wiring diagram that came with your TV instructions. If you are using a Comcast HD remote that is for just the TV functions. To change to using the DVD and other input functions you should be using the remote that came with your TV. It usually has a TV/Video button that allows you to switch devices and when switching to DVD it will show on your TV screen. I even have an old VHS hooked up to my HD TV to play some old tapes that I like. They all function off of the TV remote.

It looks like I'll need to unplug the HDMI cable from my Comcast box to the TV and plug in the new HDMI cable from my laptop whenever I want to view a DVD. no, no, no. Most TVs these days have multiple HDMI inputs. I have a 42" Proscan in the family room that has DVD a PS3 and a Wii hooked up to it. My daughter just selects HDMI 1, 2 or 3 using the input selector on the remote. My 32" Samsung TV in the main floor bedroom is the same. Assuming your player has HDMI outputs, connect it direct to the TV, OT through the cable box. While we're on the subject, I was gifted at Christmas an HDMI adapter that will let me hook my iPad and iPhone up to the TV. I can download a show or movie from iTunes and should be able to watch it on the big screen.
