The main issue now is the movie studios trying to alter the spec and put encrypted digital connections on the sets. This would immediately obsolete the current sets, and making a device that would convert the signal to one existing sets could understand would violate the DMCA. This has created a waiting game because nobody wants their multi-thousand HD set to be obsolete. Are the studios doing it to prevent pirating? Sounds stupid otherwise. ted
