I believe the upgrade we recieved also included turning on HDCP...in fact I know it did.
Before this upgrade I could use my HTPC along with an Immersive Holo/AUX card, which is basically a video scaler/processor, with DVI connections from the V* STB to the DVI input of the scaler card then out DVI of the scaler to my NEC HT1000 PJ. The scaler card permits a 'pass thru feature' (acting as a DVI switch) or actually processing the signal. It worked like a charm before this upgrade in either mode.
When I turned on the HTPC tonight and started the PJ I almost immediately got this message from the V* STB " Please correct DVI connection. Your DVI device is not responding to HD content protection"
When I connect the DVI cable from the V* STB straight to the projector I got a perfect picture. Yes, the projector is HDCP compliant.
There are some members here mentioning DVI issues. I think it's pretty safe to say the issues they are experiencing could very well be directly related to HDCP and compliance with it and/or implementation as applied to their source device. I think most of us have read about how some HDCP DVI/HDMI DVD players can be finicky and darn outright not work with HDCP compliant devices.
Wouldn't this make V* the first Sat service to turn the 'flag' on??
I'm in a dilema because I used my HTPC as a switch as I have multiple DVI devices. So now I gotta decide if I want to spend a couple hundred + dollars and buy a HDCP DVI switch.
Not feeling awfully thrilled right now.
