Hi,
After much deliberating and researching I was all set to buy a Sanyo PLV-60 front projector. I was getting all excited about putting my home theater together and then I came across all the 5C - DVI/HDCP talk.
Man, this has really halted me in my tracks. I was just a couple days away from my purchase but now I don’t know. I do understand that 5C will be used for RECORDING while DVI/HDCP will be used for DISPLAYING. My main concern is displaying but if all HDTV is reduced to 480p this would be a bummer. Now, my uses for the HT will be 75% DVD movies, 20 % video games and 5% HDTV. You might wonder what the big deal is. Well, I would for one like to have the option of HDTV for the future and two, what about something like HD DVD or HD VHS ?
I am really looking for advice and/or suggestions for this situation. I would love to have a home theater and have been preparing for it for a long time but I don’t want to waste money either.
Thank you in advance for any help or insights.
