Questions for the attornies and others in the know

Folks,

I have been on the fence for (a long) while, and am seriously considering the RCA F38310 (at under $2,000 US), HOWEVER, (ovbiously) is does NOT have DVI or Firewire capabilities.

HOW LONG until the copy-protection scheme that is decises upon will actually go into effect?

What happens to this set, as well as all the other non-DVI/Firewire sets out there?

Why do *I* need it? Unlike some others here, I don't care about taping, or timeshifting. 99.9% of what I watch, I watch when it's on. usually, if I tape something to watch later on, the tape just sits around, unwatched.

I'm really interested in the set, but will hold off until I get these answers resolved, at least in my mind.

THANKS!

David Landsman

I'm not an attorney, but I may be able to provide some insight. I think you should read the discussions in this, and other forums, regarding DVI. Most people think this will likely be a non-issue.

Before buying the set, you should probably also read some of the other threads, like 4:3 vs 16:9, TV size, etc.

Please don't PM me with questions that can (and should) be asked in the forum, thanks. Personal Question? Fire away.
