I love my Mits Diamond 55" but to anyone who is considering buying a HDTV in the near future you need to become informed on some of the decisions that are currently going on with the digital connections to get the HDTV signal. It seems like our friends at the MPAA feel we are going to copy all of the HD signals and put them on the internet and make illegal copies. They are working on making all STB's and HDTV's to be equipped with either a DVI connector or IEEE1394 connector and disabling the Analog Component or RGB signals. This is not a joke, if you are looking into getting a new HD please read up on it so you know how this might affect you if/when this change occurs.

See the following at www.hometheaterspot.com in the section on DVI/Firewire and copy protection

I would have thought the MPAA would have learned after DIVX
