I currently have a DLP TV w/ HDMI and DVI Input. I bought a receiver for my home theater system but i have one problem. All my equipment has HDCP (my dvd player, and HD Receiver), including the a/v reciever. And my TV manual says that my dvi connection supports HDCP, but it doesnt say anything about my HDMI supporting HDCP. I was just wondering if there are any dis-advantages of using a HDMI-to-DVI connector cable to connect my A/V receiver (that has HDMI inputs and outputs)to my HDCP supported DVI input on my tv instead of using a regular hdmi cable to connect it to my HDMI (which i believe does not support hdcp) . I know the only disadvantage of that is that DVI-to-HDMI wont carry audio, but that isnt a problem for me because im going to connect surround speakers to my av receiver via optical cable. Are there any other disadvantes of that scenerio i just mentioned above?

implementation of HDCP requires a license obtainable from the Digital Content Protection, LLC, which then issues a set of unique secret device keys to all authorized devices. during authentication, the receiver will only accept content once it demonstrates knowledge of the keys. furthermore, to prevent eavesdropping and stealing of the data, the transmitter and receiver will generate a shared secret value that is consistently checked throughout the transmission. Once authentication is established, the transmitter encrypts the data and sends it to the receiver for decryption.

basically, you need to pay for it to have it. i would just run the HDMI connections only.

no i dont think u understand. All my equipment is HDCP enabled meaning that it must be connected to another HDCP device to receive copy protected HD programming. Thanx for the reply, but that didnt answer my question at all
