I've only heard rumors on various websites, so I don't want to be too strong in my statements. It is hard to believe (but not impossible) that HDTV broadcasters would stick it to so many people. I think someone will come out with a third party converter to go from DVI to component (I think they might exist already), but I wouldn't put money on that.

If I've heard correctly, isn't this whole thing coming about because HDTV is supposedly higher quality than DVDs even? I've never seen HDTV so I wouldn't know.
