Will Blue-Ray HDMI connect to DVI w HDCP?


I'm looking into buying a Blue-Ray or HD-DVD player. My Tv has a "DVI with HDCP digital input". Will I be able to connect the HDMI output of a Blue-Ray/HD-DVD player to my Tv?

My Tv displays a max of 1080i. If I can't use the HDMI output can I use the component output and still enjoy the benefits of a Blue-Ray/HD-DVD player?

I just want to make sure that if I buy one of these players that I will see the difference in picture quality with my current 1080i tv.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

You should be able to use an HDMI-DVI cable no problem. Here's a link to what you will need at monoprice.com:

You could also use component cables if you like. Both players put out an excellent picture at 1080i over component.
