As a matter of policy, cable companies typically allow only 1 _HD_I'm not too sure about that. I have my TV hooked up to both the HDMI
output on a box to be active at any one time. Which is to say; that if
you connect a TV via HDMI, the Component outputs will either be dead
or only work at 480i, and visa versa.

and component outputs from the DVR. I can easily switch the TV back
and forth between them. In fact I'm not sure how the box would know
that anything was hooked to the component output. That is strictly
a one-way connection. I can see that it might be possible to come
up with a circuit that would detect the impedance connected to the
port, but it would hardly seem to be worth the effort.
The box itself knows when HDMI is being used, and shuts off component.
I have a Cisco/SA8240HDC DVR. I was using component until my HDMI cable
arrived. As soon as I connected the HDMI, the box turned off the component
output. I'm sure it varies from model number to model number, and also
from cable company to cable company.
