Too bad.  Big-ass DVI-D w/ HDCP switcher here I come.  I can still use 
MythTV to act as my movie content server (ripped from DVD), which is 
really what I new for certain I wanted to use it for anyway.  It is 
still a cool alternative to Kaleidescape or the AMX MVP for someone not 
afraid of a little hacking.  That is, until around 2009 or whenever 
someone pulls a DeCSS on the HDTV encryption scheme.  Thanks for the tip,
