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.
