I was meaning in general terms that there are people who still like to do it, could be a small group or large group (but the fact that some would still probably mean millions does that really make it a small number).
As for your argument, yes people are stupid.
But since the HD singal from your cable company is 720p which means that there isnt a need for an HDMI cable, yet. From what I can tell is that even after the transition to digital there might not be a need for an HDMI cable unless you are running a 1080p TV and a channal decides to broadcast in 1080p. HDCP shouldnt interfer due to the cable box forcing the singals through from what I can tell from my cable box a really weird component setup and your TV upscaling the channels. If it does, time for an HDMI cable.

The channel I'm watching at this very moment is broadcasting in 1080i. Maybe it's different in your area.
|
1080i is typically an upscaled picture through your cable box.

According to Comcast, my provider, 1080i or 1080p are the only "true" HD formats. They broadcast participating HD channels in 1080i. From what I've read on their FAQ in the last few minutes, it's not just a simple upscale.

Your going to believe a large company like comcast? Seriously. Thats like believing Mircosoft Works.
Either comcast broadcasts a very limited number of HD channels or they are lying their arses off.
Even Direct TV, I use bright house, advertises their selection as HD and does not provide a number to go with it. Bright House advertises HD programming too, not "true HD" whioch is bunch anyways as true HD is 1440p+ which only PC monitors can do.

I'll believe Comcast before I believe you. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, and for a company that size to state something like that right on their website and not have it be true would be nothing but trouble for that company. I assure you that they broadcast their true HD channels in 1080.
And yes, 1080 is considered the industry standard HDTV resolution at the moment. PC monitors may be able to go higher, but TVs don't at the moment, or very few of them do. I do know this; no television signal is broadcasting higher than 1080i at the moment, so 1440 doesn't matter anyway. It can't be the true industry standard if nobody is even able to use it yet.

they are being beated up by FCC after limiting p2p tranfers, and they lie because they say they were not, and after being proof they did.
