has anyone else been on to the neodigits site yet, there is a link at the bottom of this page, it boasts a lot of compatabilities . just wandering if anyone has tried or seen this in action? as i said earlier i have a 42" samsung rear projection tv with 1080i component input only. the tv says that it is hdtv at 1080i, does this mean that the tv upscales or does it need a signal at the source to be 1080i already, im getting a bit confused , hope someone out there can help.

The neodigits I hear has good products. I've seen the site too but already have my dvd player so I'm not going to find out about it 1st hand for a while. Also a little skeptical about ordering online. I typically shop online but buy in a local store.
Your tv will display 1080i so long as the source is 1080i or your dvd player upscales it. again that is a upconvertion so not too sure how much better than progressive scan. Also component hook up does not have hdcp(hi definition copy protection). this neaodigits player uses hdmi for it's hdcp. So without that the best you'll get out of it is progressive scan (480p).

Does this help?

I stand corrected. For those unlucky folks like myself who bought hdtvs atleast 4yrs ago that only have component cables, your luck may have changed. I don't know if this website will condone this post, but if you go to videohelp.com and do a search on your upconverting dvd player under hacks, you may find, what they call hack codes, that you can punch in with your remote that will bypass the hdcp. Once you've done this, you can upconvert any dvd you feel like only using component cables. It worked on my instantly and I have an LG upconverter. You have to follow instructions carefully and turn off both hdcp and macrovision. Oh yea. You might have to look at an earlier model that yours if pretty new. Just incase anybody else is interested.;)
