iHD is the interactive layer. There's nothing preventing you from watching HD DVD movies and enjoying all the basic features. Very few discs use iHD right now.

There's nothing preventing LG from releasing a free firmware update which adds iHD capabilities. They just haven't licenced the technology (yet).

Remember that HD DVD launched without multi-channel TrueHD playback and no Blu-ray players decode DTS HD Master Audio yet. The latter was enabled via firmware update a few months after release and DTS MA will be available for many players in Q1 or Q2.
