@Nfinity, the format is shares a lot of tech with HD DVD but it is not the same. Physically it is close except for modulation. But it uses different audio / video codecs, crypto / DRM, and interactive menus. No HD DVD player will ever play a CBHD disk and it seems unlikely to me that any CBHD player would bother to play HD DVD disks unless it implements the full HD DVD software stack. And that seems unlikely when HD DVD is dead and the exercise was to reduce foreign patents. If combo players do appear they will be CBHD / BD players, not HD DVD players.
