If Gordon needs backing up on this, and I hardly think so, The DVI board is certainly HDCP compliant, it says so in the manual, and I've got one too. Panasonic's customer services frequently say such things, left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. And I'll eat my crash helmet if they have an HDMI board coming for the 6 series, unless the 7 series shares the same boards, which could happen. The biggest difference to an end user between DVI and HDMI is the transmission of digital audio, and everyone here is desperate to send high quality 5.1 audio(coming soon) to their plasma monitor. Aren't we, guys?
