I'm not. I'm basing it on what I had read online while shopping for
splitters. My home FE is split to four TVs throughout my house but I've
never run an HDCP source through it. I assume that ChromeCast and FireTV
sticks use HDCP? I could plug one into it tomorrow and report back.
Alternatively I could plug my Xbox One into it but I'd have to lug the
thing downstairs.
