HD DVD to Screw Early HDTV Adopters

[Dougsnake]

Doesnt bode well for guys who dashed out for a supposedly hdtv early....

AACS says the new players won't output a full-HD signal from their component-video connections, since those jacks are analog instead of digital and thus have no copy protection. The 'down-rezzed' signals will be limited to a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels -- exactly one-quarter the 1,920 x 1,080 pixels
