Dish fixed DHCP for older HD Tv's!!!! Just in time for the HBO free preview!!

Does the older TV that had the HDCP issues actually support HDCP or is it HDCP compliant?

I just ran into a problem with HDCP. I have an HDMI switch hooked to the TV to add a couple more HDMI slots. When I first tune to HBO, it pops up the HDCP error, but after a second or two, it disappears. Seems like it takes a little bit of time to handshake. But when I tried to play a recorded movie from HBO, I get the HDCP error and then can not watch it! So I had to hardwire the Dish HDMI to the TV and swap another device into the HDMI switch.

Not a huge pain, but a problem I shouldn't have to deal with. I don't like it when I have options arbitrarily taken away from me because some broadcast company has this insane idea that pirating will stop if they harass a person like me who doesn't pirate stuff.

So very, very, true. Haven't they learned anything from the open, legal distribution of so much non-copy protected music?
