HD ready madness

As an early adapter I purchased a Mitsubishi Big Screen that was HD Ready - 1080i with componant imput. You know the story - everything is now HDMI etc. So my question is: does anyone know how to get an upsampled signal from a DVD player in 1080i through component inputs on the TV? Does any DVD player do this? Are there conversion boxes? I've heard there are security issues etc. Help!

I'm so confused I'm probably not even asking this right so please forgive my ignorance. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same issues with my Loewe CRT except that it only accepts a HD signal through the VGA input and not through the componenet (this is by design and stated in the manual) I wanted to get a DVR and started looking at transcoders but they were expensive $400-$600 and most went the other way component source converted to DVI. DVI to HDMI required another box. There was one I found that I could use but it was too pricey $700+.

Google transcoder +DVI +HDMI
