HDCP
HDCP stands for Hi Definition Copyright Protection and is part of the DVI or HDMI application for HDTV. DVI is an uncompressed digital stream and of extremely high bandwidth. While it is encoded using HDCP this is hardly the problem with recording it. If you can crack the HDCP then you have to find some way to capture it and this is considered highly unlikely for the next 5-10 years. The content providers are counting on a more robust encoding system within this time frame.
