More clarifications on AACS copy protection. Read far and wide. I have followed this closely. Once they put the ICT (Image constraint token) on the disks, you only get 480p max out of the analog connections. The studios have only agreed to temporarily not use ICT while the formats get a foothold.
rom the HD-A1 manual according to the ManRoom: “HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p or 1080i or up-converted 480i or 480p) from the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must use the HDMI OUTPUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT OUTPUT jacks, if activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.”
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
