[mythtv-users] DVI, LCDs and HDCP

[Dennis Oelkers]

Hello folks,

although it's a bit off-topic, I have the following problem. I have the 
Samsung LE-32A41B 32" HDTV LCD, which
has both a VGA (BNC D-SUB) and a DVI-input. Because of the fact that I 
want to get the best result from it, (and
the additional d/a -> a/d conversions annoy me) I want to hook it up to 
my MythBox via DVI.

The sad thing is, that the LCD expects the "client" to speak HDCP, 
otherwise it won't display anything. Is there anyone
who had this kind of problem, and solved it in some way? Are there 
graphic adapters with a HDCP-capable DVI output?

Is it possible to build some kind of "adapter", which speaks HDCP? I 
read a bit of the HDCP 1.1 specification, and got
the impression, that it relies on keys supplied by Digital Content 
Protection LLC., so building of an adapter (or anything
that is supposed to speak HDCP) won't be that easy, is it true?

Kind regards,
                Dennis Oelkers
