| | | More DRM Coming?
Dish has had DRM on some of its PPV movies for awhile but it looks like things will be expanding and will be including HDCP...
Dish posted the following to it's retailer website earlier... Quote:
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a method of controlling access to copyrighted material, such as movies. Industry standards require DISH Network to apply specific copy protection to Pay-Per-View, Video On Demand, and DishONLINE movies. DRM affects all Pay TV subscribers industry wide.
Due to the DRM requirements that movie studios have mandated, a small number of customers with older HDTVs will not be able to watch movies with their current set up. This type of copy protection is called HDCP (High Bandwidth Copy Protection).
The customers that are affected have an older HDTV, an HD receiver, and a digital cable connecting their HDTV to their HD receiver (HDMI or DVI cable) and will not be able to order or watch the movie.
If customers get pop up 890 or 894 and want to be able to watch Pay-Per-View, Video On Demand or DishONLINE movies, advise the customer that they will need to switch out their HDMI or DVI cable with a component cable (red, green, blue connectors).
For additional information of DRM and HDCP, you can refer your customers to: DISH Network |

Well they will lose money because the people that are affected are not going to go out and buy new cables just to watch ppv. They will get that error message and give up.

Could have been worse.
Frankly I'm shocked and amazed that HDCP has not already been imposed on all our HDMI connections already, 100% of the time for 100% of the channels.

First they will move to 8PSK for all SD, looks like early next year for that to start.
