The reason why this is a plus point for the N3000w is that HDTV set-top boxes, when they hit the shelves in a big way, will probably have DVI or HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) ports, thereby bypassing any analogue to digital and digital to analogue conversions that would otherwise degrade the picture quality. You also have to remember that HDCP will only work between two HDCP-compliant devices, so the N3000w shouldn't present any problems if a clean end to end digital signal is what you want.
