I took the line above

"There is no need for a splitter, but if you really want to split the HDMI
before the modulator then I would recommend the one I have."
and the line
"That splitter I mentioned removes HDCP so will work with anything (the
modulator does not need it)"
to mean  than a splitter to remove the HDCP was not needed for the edision.

It seems most the newer hdmi modulators in the UK that do HD are DVB-T2 and
therefore encode to mpeg4 and need a dvb-t2 freeview hd tv to view.

What you need in the USA I can't be bothered to google, but you probably
want an ATSC one.
