The Mitsubishi/Lucent chipset will decode all formats, but it displays as either 1080i or 720p. This is the usual way of things. Everyone's chip(s) will be able to decode all formats, but they pick and choose which one(s) they will display (converting to those subsets of formats). This is true of Panasonic, ST, Samsung, etc. Of course Cube is strangely silent on the whole issue of HDTV decoders :)

The crunch will come when Korean business groups begin including affiliates in their financial statements, as next year they must, analysts said. ''Many are concerned how much garbage will surface if Korean firms issue combine financial statements with their affiliates,'' said Lee Keunmo, research head at ING Barings. ''Korean companies, having jumped on the band wagon and gone abroad, are expected to face the same fate as LG had in Zenith.'' biz.yahoo.com
