Anyone have a sticky up? I hear some guys are livid about not being able to watch their DVDs. I was thinking about finally making the jump to a 42" HDTV. I wanted to make sure I know about all the holes first.

Thanks.

Good info on Wiki. Seems like HDCP is very important. Which vcards are HDCP compliant?

i just did a quick newegg and found some cards for you to check out. i'm assuming you're on a pcie platform. enjoy. it seems like alot of them are by ati... i wonder if thats a coincidence?

p.s. i read the wiki too, had no idea what it was either. pffff. drm :evil:

i hit reply before checkin out your specs, but maybe if your card is current-ish and/or you are unbelievably lucky, it supports hdcp. idk.
