Are you sure? I thought they hadn't implemented it yet?
We are talking about HDCP here, as in the need for an HDCP compliant player, graphics card (for PCs) and TV, and not the copy protection they use to prevent ripping (which they've had all along, for what it's worth)?
HDCP will kick in as soon as you use a digital connection.
You can connect via VGA and HDCP is rendered useless. It is the ICT flag that has not been implemented yet IIRC and that will stop the analog connections unless you use an expensive HDCP-stripper box.
As for the HD debate......You do not need 1080p or even 1080i, in fact your monitor as a nice resolution that would make HD material look great..........if it was physically a lot bigger.
Below 32" and the difference between SD and HD is not very noticeable.........and even with a very large screen the difference between 720p and 1080i are not very noticeable
The thing with HD is its great for people with large screens as it makes a large picture look great. Without HD, large screen TVs would almost be a waste as SD images scaled up to that size look terrible.......Which anyone who watches ITV on a 42"+ screen will attest to in a heartbeat
