Last I heard, NEC's DVI input didn't accept an HDCP signal. That could be a real bummer if you tried to use one of the better DVD players with a DVI-HDCP or HDMI output.
Follow Ups:
I use dvi into the tv all the time with no problems. HDCP is more for set top boxes in the US. Anyone in the UK will not have to deal with those issues. DVI and SDI are formats not offered over here in Europe. Matter of fact I haven't even seen a really high quality sat receiver that offers multiple video connections. The digibox used by Sky is at least 5 or 6 years behind what we are selling in the states. The biggest issue over here is the scart connector. Pending the design of the component you can offer RGB in/out, composite in/out, and audio in/out signals. It's rare to see any other type of connection used in a a/v system. I use a scart to composite adapter because my digibox only offers composite out.Alan
Except for a scarce few, the majority of DVD players that offer a DVI output also send an HDCP signal out of the DVI port. If you don't have an HDCP compliant display, you're out of luck getting a digital connection.In the US, HDCP is not too much of a concern for STBs at this time for HDTV content. However, when the encryption gets turned on -- and it will be, there will be a wave of crying from owners of non-compliant displays.
It all depends on the connection. Our Stealth DVD Player is Non-HDCP via the dvi output. I also provide a scalable component bnc output. To be honest I see very little difference between the dvi and scalable component. 1080i looks great from both outputs.Alan
