HD TVs should have:
HDCP - High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Copy-protection scheme developed by Intel to be used in conjunction with DVI and HDMI connections.
HDMI - High-Definition Multimedia Interface. USB-like digital video connectivity standard designed as a successor to DVI; can transmit both uncompressed digital audio and video signals; protected by HDCP digital copy protection

I'm pretty sure that you don't have to have HDMI and you can have DVI? I've read in more than one place that HDCP over DVI is HD Ready. Correct me if i am wrong of course.
Edit: Just checked and i am correct, you don't have to have an HDMI connection. HDCP over DVI is fine.
