Thanks Bob for putting this in the right place.

Chris: when should I worry about it? Surely the electronic manufactures realize that the majority of TVs out there do not have DVI inputs in them and only have component video.

Can you or someone else explain what HDCP encryption is and how it relates to DVI? Or know of a place you can send me so I can read about it?

I am guessing it is similar to Macrovision, but much better at protecting the data, but I am interested in this. Thank you!
