Word of Warning to all contemplating a high spec TV\Proj purchase

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sky have released some info on their new High Definition TV server to be
launched in 2005\2006. The warning is to make sure that your new device has
HDMI or DVI connections that support the HDCP digital rights protection
system



"Sky stated that the vast majority of HDTV programming will only be
viewable
if carried via HDMI or DVI connections that support the HDCP digital rights
protection system. In other words, if your projector or flat panel screen
only has component video inputs or an HDMI/DVI jack NOT compatible with the
HDCP system, it will not show the majority of Sky's HD services. In other

inputs or an HDMI/DVI jack NOT compatible with the HDCP system, it will not
