Thanks you for the FAQ, lots of good info their. My biggest and main use is for movies. I don't want to get caught in a situation where after getting into HD DVD's that I have to live with converting the Dolby HD down to Dolby Digital and listen to it that way.

I think I will hold out a little while. Sounds like 1.3 is the ticket if everyone can agree and just do it and stop changing formats, that hurts everyone. HD-DVD and Blue Ray are going to have to merge also, you would think they would learn from the Beta vrs VHS days. I hope it all stragihten out fast so us consumers can get some killer quality sound and picture out of our DVD players.

On a side note, would I gain any quality using the HDMI to DVI on my TV versus using the component that I am using now? I have HD channels.
