HD DVD and Blu-ray content to be degraded for analog displays

Here's a rundown of how HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will degrade their HD signals when output to an analog HDTV. This was known all along but some of the details are slightly new... it'll downgrade to 960x540 instead of 480 lines, plus it will reportedly then upsample the downgraded image back up to 1280x720. That last move is just dumb enough to be true, sadly enough.
