Interesting.  On my computer, I get to see the system booting up
through DVI
just fine, right from the BIOS.  Maybe it's because I have Linux
installed?
Of course that would make no sense since it's an issue before the
OS even
gets started.  Maybe a bad TV that can't do computer displays
correctly?
Not only is this plausible, it is known to exist.  The only
question in my
mind is whether that is a problem due to incompetent engineers or
incompetent
managers.  Unfortunately, both are in great abundance.

My computer also works fine through the entire boot sequence including
setting BIOS options. It's not Linux related for 2 reasons. 1: No OS
is running yet at boot time and 2: mine works and it's Win XP with no
Linux at all -- though I should get around to changing that.

As fot the BluRay on an older AGP machine, would VLC player or
something like that just ignore HDCP and show the pictures ? Somebody
somewhere must be concocting "BluRay Shrink".
