AACS says the new players won’t output a full-HD signal from their component-video connections, since those jacks are analog instead of digital and thus have no copy protection. The “down-rezzed” signals will be limited to a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels  roughly half the 1,920 x 1,080 pixels that you’ll get through the copy-protected digital connectors on the players. The potentially huge problem with this strategy is that the only HD inputs on a lot of older HDTVs are component video. Estimates vary, but it’s believed 3 to 6.6 million such displays are in U.S.
I guess it’s time to buy a new TV. ;D
