They cannot do this to their paying customers, and the FCC would be wise to examine the effects of a substantial increase in piracy were this ever to happen.

Let me pay for what I use how I want to use it, or I will steal it out of principle you greedy bastards.]]>Dec 6th 2007 2:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/
Not using HDMI usually leads to the inability to upconvert DVD's with most DVD players -- I hacked my Oppo, though. I have a Yamaha RX-V2500 A/V receiver (without HDMI). I have a sub-$100 RCA HD-DVD player I bought on EBay that I will use the analog 5.1 outputs to get Dolby TrueHD from whatever HD DVD's offer it (i.e. Batman Begins and Blade Runner). Unless I got a top of the line Toshiba HD-XA2 or HD-A35 (both of which were more than I wanted to pay for considering I will not even be getting 1080p out of them), I had to go with a 1st generation player (which I did) in order to get the best audio. I don't have my Oppo hooked up with analog 5.1 outputs (I have no SACD's or DVD-Audio discs, so it probably would not be worthwhile).]]>Dec 6th 2007 3:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/Dec 6th 2007 2:59PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/Dec 6th 2007 3:06PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/

Glad I waited for the real deal, and did not jump on the early adopter bandwagon..]]>Dec 6th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/12/06/will-2008-be-the-year-for-selectable-output-control/
Nowhere did it say xbox 360s would ever be downconverted. Where the heck did that thought come from? Fanboyism?
