Home audio & video: HDCP COMPLIANT
HDCP COMPLIANT
by TSTEPP11 - 4/19/08 1:16 PMI HAVE A NORCENT PT4291-HD TV. I PURCHASED A HD-DVD PLAYER AND UPDATED IT. THE DVD PLAYER WILL NOT PLAY THRU THE HDMI PORT. IT WILL THROUGH THE COMPONENT INPUTS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO USE THE ONE HDMI CABLE AS OPPOSED TO THE FIVE COMPONENTS. NORCENT DOESN'T BOTHER REPLYING TO MY QUESTIONS. IS A NON HDCP TV ABLE TO BE UPDATED? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED..
THANKS TIM
Don't have an answer for your question, but...

I was just thinking it's the entertainment industry's lost by putting all these restriction in. If my tv doesn't work then I just won't buy/watch any HD media.
Just plain orneriness in Hollywood

So, as with most businesses, they rip off the best loyal customers who are most likely to buy again and again and ...
They aren't concerned about the professional pirates overseas or domestic.
I don't know if my tv is hdcp compliance or not.

HD content that is HDCP encumbered

The HDCP handshake ensures that no illegitimate recording device can be inserted between the player and the video monitor.
If you don't stare at a screen for the sole purpose of detecting PQ defects or compare side-by-side with HD, you're right. Most eyes would find upconverted 480p movies pretty darn good, especially for the price!
