A sign of the end of times
« Reply #30 on: October 12, 2006, 10:57:20 AM »
I have a 62" non hdtv mitsubisi tv that has a really good picture.... my plan is to keep it till all the dust settles on what standard will win and then upgrade when the prices all settle in.

Is this a good plan?   I have no clue what to buy right now but enjoy DVD movies...  What will be the recorder that wins out?

What hardware are you talking about?  I watch HD via component connection every night.  1080i, no problem.

I think Skuzzy is talking about HDMI to Component.

Do the HDCP restrictions affect DVI interface?

I have a DVI interfaced 720p LCD television with a Mac Mini (+DVB-C receiver box) attached as the content source, and regular DVD drive for now. If I get a Blu-ray or HD-DVD drive will I be able to play the content on my tv?

History has shown that even though general consumer products will be tied with several restrictions, so far you've always been able to buy your hardware half price from China sans protection systems. They don't care about MPAA/RIAA. :D

WTG China! Err.. I hope at least.

I just love a thread where I can understand maybe every third or fourth word.

Yes, sorry for the hastily worded phrase there.  It do read badly.

Although once the resolution tags go into effect next year,  It just might put an end to being able to get native HD resolutions via component.  Native, being the keyword.  Upscaling should always be available.  And older, non-tagged content will still work, just the newer stuff might not.

That is one of the many unknowns right now.

How does a post about electronics get edited for being flamebaiting..

I read the initial post and it seemed fairly harmless... Thought it was about the latest Tivo issue?

This is kinda wierd....

Need more coffee...
