I've had nothing but trouble with HDCP. I've used HDMI matrix switches to transport a video signal around the house. 40% of the time I get the HD snowstorm so have to reboot the TV to attempt a second handshake. This gives a low Wife Approval Factor. I believe they should stop torturing the paying punters, like me, and just be happy with the majority who pay and not the minority that don't. Also, before someone mentions the x billion lost per year, I doubt maybe the 100,000 that downloaded 'The Bounter Hunter' would of seriously bought it.
