Well, there is the analogue hole.

Playback of protected content is going to be limited to those solutions
that provide a certified "protected path".  That limits one to the usual
suspects/platforms that provide it.

If one wants to record/play back protected content in "full" resolution
(not using the analogue hole) in the US, the providers STB, WMC, TiVo,
or the (upcoming) HDHR DVR are the known consumer options.
