	no, I think bill was using DVI


	My guess (and that's all it is) is some better interpolation.. Apple  
filed a patent about up-conversion not terribly long ago.

	I've been considering moving my AppleTV from the bedroom TV (an HD  
LCD) to the living room (an HD CRT)... I think the picture would be  
much better still on the tube (sharpness is a general issue I have  
with the LCD).  mind you, once I take downstairs, it can't come back  
up.. sigh.
