I supposed HDMI is a DRM issue the problem is that HDMI and DVI use the same DRM: HDCP. There is no good reason why they can't support DVI. The tech I talked to admited it and said that their stance may change based on consumer demand but I guess it was just easier for them to simply support HDMI only.
The HD content didn't compare to any of the WMV content I have downloaded from Microsoft's site.
I didn't check out any of the SD movies. The few SD movie previews I saw were terrible, but it wouldn't surprise me if they use different bit rates for the perviews.
