HDTV Overscan/Underscan discussion

DVDs havnt used anything like HDCP and thier protection is linear.
If you think protection systems cant be broken, then what about Sky Digital?
HDCP is fully adaptable and a lot has happened since 2001.
Have a google and see the Engadget report too, im not saying HD-DVD rips wont appear on the internet but this isnt the place to discuss it neither.
For average joe to buy his HD-DVDs or BLU-RAY and play them via PC he will need HDCP compatible display,graphics and probably Vista.
Dont think Vista has been fully confirmed yet as a requirement though.
Sony showed their latest HTPC running with Blu-Ray 200 disc changer and *special Nvidia graphics with HDMI output at LAS VEGAS CES

Sorry but in a way Im all for HDCP being implemented. Discs like in the way Sony has tried with PSP will have any illegal keys added or security updates added with new movies all the time. Even if the keys are beaten you still may require a HDCP display and Graphics card. Its not a given thing this will be beaten and work consistantly for those looking a way around it.
The last thing the industry needs is easy access to exact pure digital copies killing the new HD Formats before they even get a chance.
I guess we wont know for sure about HDCP being as easily hacked as you mention. Do expect Vista to add to the problem though but we will see, thanks for conversing on the topic.
As for americans and HDTV CRTS, thats tough its like when Dolby Digital arrived on Laser Disc if you want the latest thing then sometimes you have to upgrade to get it.

Sounds like youve got the best solution for your display all sorted.
Good material from 1080i 720p looks grand on mine with HDMI
Done a bit of tweaking with Theatretek and some settings. Lost never looked so good.
Regards HDCP i think youll have to wait till the new players and discs get released to really know for sure its done/dusted. Upscaling is different from todays DVDs. Anyone saying otherwise is being a bit bullish but we will see.
