Add a new monitor/TV to that shopping list...
With HD content you also need a special monitor and/or to view it.

Your existing TV won't work. Your expensive new home cinema system? Won't work either.

They're telling us that every TV set and PC in the world has to be thrown away so wa can watch their movies? This is way beyond my comprehension...and an ecological nightmare.

This is the point where congress should step in and say "no!"

Plus... it won't prevent any piracy! Not one bit! Six months from now the pirates will have their copying systems down to a fine art and it will all have been a waste of time.
