It would depend I suppose on whether or not the movie was HDMI encrypted?

I think you mean HDCP and that would only apply on a digital output and since only the newest generation xbox 360 has HDMI it would be rather stupid for it not to work over at least component....

You have a choice on the format when you download either 'standard tv' or 'HD format' from what I can remember looking at these films on xbox live.

Only available in SD for 100points, HD version still at full price.

It clearly stated in the email I received from Xbox live that HD version would be available for 100 points.

Perhaps on the next offer they should show the film Liar Liar.

Well, I rented the HD version. Looks absolutely lovely, but the film itself is (IMO) boring. Also, while trying to stream it, I got bad problems with buffering. However, it could be because my xbox is connected wirelessly.

I have left it downloading, so will resume watching it later.

Did you pay the full 540 points? If you did you might be able to claim back 440.

It still says on Xbox.com 100 points for the HD version.

Either way looks like tonight you dine in hell
