Most your newer HDTV's that have HDMI connections are HDCP compliant. The owners manual should tell you one way or the other.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

You will be able to use it at 1080i, but if your port is not hdcp compliant then depending on the content you will not even get that quality or it could be blocked all together, depending on what the maker of the DVD has it set to work with a non compliant device. At least, that is what it seems from what I have read.

Assuming they don't change the standard again. And guess who's responsible? You are. No one's going to "fix" it for you. And if your TV isn't compliant? Well, guess you've got to buy a new one!

If BlueRay or HDDVD attempt to force a standard change, Imho they will be out of business before they start, their only chance of survival is to conform to the millions of consumers who in the past couple years have already upgraded to HDTV's.

Cablecard, I'm guessing? See this article.

Wow, got me. Guess they might be more ready than this cynic thought.

Well for the good folks who don't have HDCP there are always these.

Sadly, the article that surrounds that second link contains pretty scary/awful/irritating/horrible info about HDCP.
