unless the V+ can only output hd using hdmi, your wrong

a 1080i compat tv, "should" output a 1080i, and 720p

1080p can also be achieved over component, only thing that cant be transmitted over component are upscale (because this is only supported using a digital connection as governed by the dvd consortium)

the only reason people belive that component cant do hd signals is down to sony-bs,

whilst a hdmi cable would be better based on experience of component looking washed out compaired to hdmi, but thats the only reason i say that
