Davehrab is right there are two formats that are not compatable, HTMI and HDCP. The interface will carry an audio signal as well. We cant get a standard for anything!

Now DVI is being incorporated into satellite boxes, TV's and DVD players The DVI connection allows transmission in the "digital" format from your source(Sat/Box DVD/player)to your TV. There is 2 version of the DVI connection, an early (or First version) and a revised version. You "CAN NOT" mix and match You must use the first version source with a first version TV and a revised version source with a revised version TV HTH Dave

I think this is what HDTV is sent over. DVD players dont do HD signals yet... the only purpose i see for them is on the reciever for video switching, the HDTV tuner, and the HDTV I could be 100 wrong on this though.
