My issue is that when I go to play an HD DVD, my tv kicks down to 1080i and I believe it is because of the HDCP possibly. Can anyone think of any new cable configurations or any other solutions so I will have 1080p for all games and HD DVD's? ???

PS: I have tried the microsoft VGA cables and then connected a VGA >DVI converter and connected it that way, and the highest res my tv would allow with that setup was 1320X768..
The only bad thing right now with the Xbox HD-DVD player is that it will not output 1080p because it lacks an HDMI output. The limitation right now is the component cable but from what I hear that is going to change soon. I go back and forth with this all the time thinking that you may not notice the difference between 1080i and 1080p but then some movies show otherwise. I will try and gather some information on the new HDMI cable from MS for their 360 but until then maybe someone else can give you a headsup with the latest.

Until then just be patient because 1080p is really new and some products will take some time to catch up with cables, etc.
