yikes, did I miss the window of opportunity? I need a BluRay with 720p on
component output. Otherwise I have to get a converter like the HD Fury?

Yeah, not so much a threat. ANY Bluray player with a firmware newer then
1/1/2011 will not output anything but downconverted to 480P over
component, otherwise they cannot get licensed...
Analog Sunset means that ANY model that goes after that date is a no-go.

Hi,
If the blu ray player has component out (not just composite or s-video
and HDMI), then there is no need for the HDFury.
The threat has been that the MPAA would force the BluRay makers to only
output 720p, 1080p and 1080i via HDCP enabled HDMI, and would force down
resolution to 480p on component output.
Some cable companies have done this for specific pay per view items, but
nothing else (yet?).
The issue is devices like the HD PVR that let's you re-encode from
Component inputs, the MPAA hates this idea/concept, and want's to close
the "analog hole" where you can re-digitize analog output (and the
analog basically can't have encryption on it).
