Yes, part of the *.sky.com domain - it's hardly a registration bonanza.

And the proof of the pudding will be in the answer to the question: will Sky
offer HD tv to owners of all HD compat sets or will there be some sort of
funky protection system that makes the majority of 2 year plus old sets
unusable and only HD Ready tvs usable?

The dreaded HDCP (dreaded as far as owners of some "older" sets are
concerned).

No 1080p. Only 720p is available on component video!

But that tends to be American, both in your spelling and implementation
(high-end projectors). What about analogue SCART RGB?


Component Video is commonly available on large screen TV's. My 36"
Toshiba is 3 years old and has Component Video Progressive Scan.

Why put analogue SCART on a HD product. Since SCART doesn't support any
kind of HD there is no point. If ya want SCART buy Sky+.

Two years old, a lifetime in plasmas, you must be half way through the life
of the screen.
had to turn up the brightness yet?

?

lots of UK equipment has analog(ue) component.
Even my £499 LCD has it - and is therefore usable with Sky HD at 1280x720

Um, that question has already been answered! The "some sort of funky
protection system" is HDCP. It's in the FAQ.

(No, not all content will use it)
