HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)?

I just downloaded the SD version of the Mad Men Season 5 preview ("Where Season 4 Left Off") from the iTunes Store, and I get and error when I open it in iTunes:

"This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."

Dors this mean I need a Hi Def monitor to watch Standard display videos in iTunes now? I am using a standard VGA monitor connected to my Mini with a Mini DisplayPort To VGA Adapter.

Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Sorry, I meant to search for an answer and a thread starting window opened instead,

Found out the answer is to open iTunes Prefs, Playback, and make sure the view in SD option is checked. Voila! Well sort of..., anyway that is the solution.

go into itunes preferences, then the playback tab and change the preferred video version to something other than 1080p. I chaged mine to 720 and it worked
