I'd advise against buying an HDTV system at this time. Some of the "copy protection" stuff Hollywood is trying to mandate would be incompatible with existing equipment (you'd only be able to view the signal in the same old Never-The-Same-Color quality).

There is already lots of good stuff broadcast in HDTV (if you are close enough to broadcast towers, which I unfortunately am not). If you buy a TV/display/projector with a DVI interface that is HDCP compliant you will most likely be protected when (or if) Hollywood is ever to impliment copy protection (which some teenager will hack days later).
