Correct. However, it appears that the average cable/satellite STB does not implement CEA-805-C DRM on it's HD component outputs, making the Hauppage recorder pretty effective (at least for the present). BTW, I should clarify my previous statement. DTCP/5C /encryption and key exchange/ only exists on 1394 and IP connections. However, DTCP /descriptors/ (which may control CEA-805-C DRM) can be added to Transport Streams at any time, and are now included in cable network satellite feeds. Ron Richard Hollandsworth wrote:
DRM controls (similar to DTCP "5C") are also found on the Component Video I/F, see CEA-805C:http://hdtv.forsandiego.com/messages/1/6560.html#POST32596Which explains why the Hauppauge C.V. I/F recorder hasn't been sued off the market....holl_ands ================================================= --- On *Tue, 7/22/08, Ron Economos /<w6rz@xxxxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: Ron Economos <w6rz@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [opendtv] Re: ATSC High Def Recorder To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 2:50 AM DTCP/5C only exists on IEEE1394 or IP (DLNA) connections. Certainly not component connections. Besides, the whole point of the Hauppauge HD-PVR is to get around 5C/DTCP.
