It has to do with the HDMI license requirement to support HDCP (DRM).  I 
think there was some discussion here a while back about HDMI/HDCP.

I've got an older flatscreen without HDCP and a fairly new bluray device 
won't talk to the TV via HDMI, but has no problem with composite or an 
HDMI to VGA adapter.  Argh!
