It has no DVI-port, but the VGA-signal is extremly good.

I would rather not go back to analog, given that my TV set does have a DVI input :-) Plus, I've still not lost hope that the HDCP issue will eventually be solved ;-) Thanks for the hint anyway!

While we're at it - how does the xine-plugin / xine-player combo compare to softdevice? Softdevice supports some nice feature like cropping 14:9 or 16:9 contents and rescaling it to full resolution (in my case, 1280x720) just fine. And it rescales anamorphous material automatically if set for 16:9.
