I stand corrected about HDCP. My father in law was buying a TV a few
years ago, and I told him to look for TVs that did not say they had
HDCP, and it was my understanding that they were available and
becoming more so. Maybe they just stop advertising HDCP and put it in
the ridiculous tiny print.

In fact, from my research the ICT isn't supposed to cause audio
downgrade. There's also a Digital Only token, which completely shuts
off analog output, but I don't think anyone's planning on using that.

Yup. They're lying. Component

fewer high-quality signals.
If you're talking BluRay, 1080p over component cables is right out due
to content protection/licensing issues. But video originating at
1080p24, like film content, has information in its headers that allows
a trivial deinterlacing when
