Any update on this product?  It came to mind today reading about
Gefen's scrambling attempt to DRM-ify its HD PVR:

Apparently some non-DRM units are already "in the wild".

Seems a little like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic...

Of note is CNET's take on allowing consumers to use what they have
paid for: "Such unencrypted/non-DRM video files are the holy grail of
video pirates..."
