HD Movie Rentals

A few questions re HD movie rentals.

What exactly does HD mean? Is it the same quality as Blu-ray (i.e., 1080P)?

Any difference in picture quality between component vs HDMI connection?

All the AppleTV specs are on their website.

They currently offer 720HD movies (which look as good to the eye as 1080 on many HDTVs and the file size in considerably smaller - so "win-win"!). I'm sure many folks will be happy to offer you their "definitions" of "True HD". 😉

And similarly, you probably wont notice the difference between component and HDMI, but the purists will tell you HDMI is sharper as it remains a digital signal.
