...it would make the device worthless in general. Everything just about
everyone wants to record is tied up in that HDCP nonsense. The whole point
of these devices is to bypass all of that buy using an interface that doesn't
support any of it.

HDCP enforcement would make this device just as useless on MCE or Sage.
