The new HD players will work. They do support a flag that can
OPTIONALLY reduce resolution from 1920x1080 to 960x540 (just a bit
higher than DVD's 720x480.) That said, most of the studios have said
they will not use that flag for awhile since they are aware that not all
HD TV's support digital connection with HDCP yet.
