You're correct, the digital signal stays digital up to the conversion in the HDTV.
As long as your new HDTV supports HDCP, you'll be OK. If it doesn't support HDCP (warning: don't get it!), I believe the only DVI-capable connections will be the Bravo D1 DVD player and some computers.
I believe the rule regarding HDCP is this:
If source (DVD player, sat box, etc) has HDCP, receiving devices (scaler, monitor, etc) must be HDCP compliant. If source doesn't have HDCP, it doesn't matter if receiving device is HDCP compliant or not. However, since the future is (unfortunately) copy protection, always be sure the receiving device is HDCP compliant as more and more future sources will undoubtedly have HDCP. Hope that helps.
