The onboard tuner is not the issue - it's the DVI connection with HDCD copyright protection on the TV sets and STBs that is the concern. Although your older XBR2 doesn't have DVI/HDCP (the new XBR does), the feeling among maanufacturers is that there WILL be a fix available, albeit another little black box, for the thousands of HDTVs already in use.

Sony just wanted to make the new 34XBR cheaper.

BTW, that's an old article, and old news. Videophiles have been pissed about this issue for over a good while.
