I just posted the article MPAA pushes again to control TV output.

The movie industry, still pushing to control the analog outputs on your televisions and set-top boxes, is trying to make its case more palatable to the consumer and to the Federal Communications Commission.

Once the MPAA successfully does this to VOD they will quickly move to block other content as well then it will be a world law that demands all Govs remove the analog hole on everything…

And remember, you can’t spell ‘analog’ without A-N-A-L…

Sony is already blocking analog output for digital sources on their current televisions (e.g. W5500 series) here in the Nordic and some European countries.
