The Black Magic HDMI card may not work at all due to handshaking. | I though that as well but it also has component in & out as well (this was pointed out to me here). I have things saved on an ext HDD that I would like to archive in HD not SD DVD. These are not possible to get on Commercial B-R disc. Also the price of the commercial disc are over twice price of the said media.

So I may do a bit in future. And yes my panny 42 plasma passes the test. It in fact did tell me that it was showing in 1080p from my info screen.

... | Your price is overpriced. Fry's had 15 of them for $39 sometimes or $49 regular price.

My point is that until the cost of making copies (including your time) is significantly less than buying, it doesn't make economic sense.

I just discovered a problem downloading dishonline HD content that I think is related to this DRM issue. I have downloaded HD programs in the past without problems but when I tried a few days ago, I got a message that I had a non HDCP tv connected and it would not allow the download. It told me to check an info screen, which I did but the screen indicated that HDCP was working on my HDMI connection. I'm using a 722k and have HD sets connected to both component and HDMI connections. I tried disconnecting the tv on the component connection, thinking that it might be the problem but still didn't work.
Has anyone else run into this?
