I just got from CES in Vegas and spoke with RCA on their HD output. They said that RCA's accessory division has discussed making an adapter cable to component but NO promises. The way the FCC guildlines are set up for DTV & HDTV spec HD has tobe either 720P or greater. I do know that RCA's multimedia line or TV (which have the VGA 15 pin input) are 800 X 600 lines of resolution. No companies HD direcTV boxes I saw discussed the firewire connector, but that may have been added to the specs too late for the show. A colleague of mine who sells Sony TV's mentions that at the show he found a source for VGA to component for about $60 to $70, we'll see.
