This thread got me searching for a bit, and it seems there are now
quite a few black boxes out there that strip hdcp and output hdmi.
They are in the same price range as a (v2 or v3) fury as well ~200..
The fury's get pretty bad reviews on sync and color issues (although I
have personally never seen one in action).  I would really like to get
rid of all of the cable mess with the hdpvr though, so these 4 hdmi
in, 1 hdmi out boxes for ~275 look very appealing (especially since
they have remotes to control input to be controlled by lirc)..  Match
that to a hdmi cap card and viola!  If only there were some with
drivers and compression  :)

Maybe christmas time  :)
