Thank you very much for your patience and comments, I just got pissed that ( although i bought the sony 57xbr2 for 3400. new.......now your saying what am i bitching about) corporate idiots are selling people BS! And i was afraid my TV wouldnt accept the 1080i signal..
Thanks

HD is so cool, we all get very frustrated at the prices, delays, screw-ups and potential pitfalls - Betamax, anyone? How many of us really feel sorry for the corproate giants whose chief concern is not selling HD movie content to us but down rezing our HD pictures so pirates can't copy HD boradcasts? A pox on 'em.You should be OK anyway - direct view sets, even 16:9 ones don't display full 1080i. You have a beautiful detailed picture true, but I believe you have to get up to 38-40" before a display is full 1080i capable. The point is, your set looks good NOW with less than full 1080i HD, and will continue to do so. It's the people with the larger sets who will be more affected by any down rezing...and as I said before, I think there will probably be a "black box" fix for early HD adapters, all 4 million of them.
Enjoy that Sony. Cheers!
OOps, sorry, for some reason I thought you had the 34XBR2 and were inquiring about the 34XBR800.Same thing applies, however. There will be a black box fix if this nonsense comes to pass next spring...at the consumer's cost, of course.
I'm looking at plasmas, and I'm still not sure how I feel about the DVI/HDCP thing yet...except I'm cross at the studios, as usual.
but it won't display much of it. Direct view sets aren't really HD capable, despite the hype. They throw most of the additional resolution out the window because they're incapable of resolving it.
