EXCEPT!
Apperantly no current TV has the built in DRM technology* that is part of the HD and Blu ray's technology selling point.^
Initialy it might not be DRM fucked, but it will after either tech catches on. They flip a litte swich on the fabrication line. Then you'll be limited to less than 480p(probably standard TV) resolution in every new movie, unless you get a new TV.
*(requires HDMI connection with special hardware in the player and the TV, so it's never allowed to become an analog signal that could be copied)
^(selling point to producers/developers/distributers not home users)
Parantheticals longer than the sentences don't make sence
