I will have (probably) SKY HD installed next saturday, but not sure if I should go for component connection - did anybody with Pioneer SXE actually had the HDCP error, or is it limited to models with separate media box? Is there any clear difference in HDMI implementation between SXE and other Pioneers?
Thanks!

Since there are no replies, seems like SXEs are not affected? Thats good news I guess...

Personally, I wouldn't take the risk.

Use component until there's a definitive statement from Sky and/or Pioneer as to where the issue lies.

I have 436 SXE and SKY HD insatalled last Friday. I changed to component on saturday. My TV did not have any issues. I also spoke to Sky HD and it was suggested to keep on component.
Quality of picture is not much different( I use Belden component cable), may be better on component.

One more thing-HD, especially BBCHD is mind blowing. Wimbledon/ football!

I called SKY technical support to ensure that at my installation engineer brings component cables with him, but all I got was:
"There is no any problem with HDMI, engineer will have HDMI only, he is not there to damage your TV, don't know anything about Pioneers, buy your own cables" and then the guy just hang up on me.

Does anybody knows phone number and name of somebody in SKY who is well aware of this problem?

got my sky HD installed on monday and the engineer said he had installed 100's of Pioneers sets with HDmi and he leaves his Moby Phone number incase they have problems he said he not had one problem yet.

That's because the error has a phone number to call. I didn't ring my installer (though he left his number) as I assumed he'd be installing systems not answering customer support calls!
