    HDTV can be confusing. I know it can be overwhelming at times but the European agency in charge of everything high-def is introducing a new logo to help their consumers with HDTVs. This new logo indicates that the device has everything that is necessary to receive and process the information. Therefore this logo will appear on HDTV receivers, DVD players and audio/video receivers. The only issue that can be seen is that the certification for HDTVs requires the set to have component video along with HDCP compliant DVI/HDMI connections. That is all well and good now but this new logo for does not require it to have component connections. So if you bought a HDTV a few years ago with an HDTV logo on it and then just purchased a new HDTV set-top box, they may not work together. Wait a second, that issue sounds familiar...
