HDCP and DVI

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I am on Time Warner cable with a Pioneer 3510 HDTV box. My TV is a Syntax
with DVI input. When I connect the STB to the TV, it says:
"Your Device Does Not Support HDCP" and I cannot get any answer for what
this means or how to hook up my stuff using the DVI cable. Time Warner
says it is the TV and Syntax says it is the cable box.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I got that too. It sounds like the cable companies fault, though I haven't
bothered to ask them about it.

Time Warner has chosen to not support your TV. Cancel cable and get satellite.

| Newer terrestrial, cable and satellite STBs (due to FCC rules coming into
| effect, and private industry agreements coming into effect) will only output
| premium or protected content over DVI with HDCP turned on.
|
| When a STB with DVI or HDMI +HDCP talks with a display, the STB asks the
| display "do you support HDCP". If the display cannot respond to the
| question appropriately, then the STB assumes the display is insecure and
| will not output protected content, and better STBs will at least generate a
| message like "Your Device Does Not Support HDCP" and send it to your display
| via DVI or HDMI without HDCP turned on so you know what the problem is.

Yet another example of how the content industry is going above and beyond
simply trying to stop piracy and sharing. They are actually encouraging
those to know how to extract the content anyway to go ahead and do so to
make it convenient to view. The day HDCP gets cracked I will cheer and
laugh.

The man from mars is wrong, It's the TV. The TV must be able to respond to
the SOURCE (cable box or satellite box) that it DOES support HDCP. For
further information see :
WWW.HDMI.org

That will explain it better. --Greg--
