#6: You're right, it's a little silly that I don't yet own an HDTV, but they do cost money that I don't have - and believe me, more credit isn't the answer. And since I was able to use my Dell monitor as a display while writing the first edition of my Apple TV book, an HDTV wasn't really required. It's only since this HDCP issue arose that I've started thinking that it's time to finally break down. The good news is that I'll be spending much less money this year than last for a TV.
#10: Yes, HD over component video works, just not in my specific case (lack of component inputs on my display).
