A colleague at work has verified that his Sharp Aquos 37" TV works fine with his video card DVI output connected to the TV HDMI input via a DVI to HDMI cable. His computer is running Linux, not Windows. So in this case, the TV is accepting NON-encrypted digital video correctly as it should. Hopefully, for non-protected content, Windows will properly NOT use HDCP. It's only for protected content that it is expected to use HDCP to ensure you cannot use a monitor that is really something like a recorder, or let you tap the HDMI cable wires (it's encrypted in HDCP). -- |---------------------------------------/----------------------------------| | Phil Howard KA9WGN (ka9wgn.ham.org) / Do not send to the address below | | first name lower case at ipal.net / spamtrap-2007-12-14-1343@ipal.net | |------------------------------------/-------------------------------------|
