That may be true, but if a person buys a BD movie, and makes a backup to a BD-R disc, using SlySoft AnyDVD HD, then there is no protection key, and should output at 1080i over Component. I looked at Gonks 93/990 setup, and he says that the better video processing chip is not used while using a Component output, and recommends using an HD Fury product. I looked those up, and are pretty pricy ($250+).
