The other day I reported that the Toshiba HD-DVD players will support HD on their HDMI output only. People with HDTV sets with DVI but no HDCP, or just component connections, will be left out in the cold. (The same will probably be true of Blu-ray players when they arrive.)

Obviously, there are many people just a little bit displeased with this decision. Ron Epstein from the Home Theater Forum is calling for a boycott of players that don’t offer full resolution, full bandwidth output of HD material on analog component video outputs.
