Will You Be Buying A Blu-ray Player This Year?

Never, SD-DVDs upconverted look fine to me.

@yoda313 - Yes my cable provider does have a box with component output. However, for most HD content (including movies) they use the ICT, so you can only get SD over component. So HD is over HDMI only. The box is branded as "MyskyHDi" here in New Zealand, and while I don't know the actual make (haven't upgraded yet, not interested in paying for HD until I can archive) and fairly sure they have to have their own firmware loaded for the box to work, so hacking the firmware isn't be an option either (even if I knew how).

You would almost think they wanted to drive us paying customers towards downloading.........(which I don't do BTW)

Exactly my thoughts.
Whenever I hear about "piracy" I always point to the music/movie studios and distributors as the main reason of widespread piracy over the internet.

Just wait until Hollywood will ask for some "stimulus package" money this year, the "antipiracy" craze will get much more traction than it ever had during that idiot Valenti's presidency at MPAA
