Foxtel question

[Lidsand]

this is the tech that implements the handshake

and if this ICT is implemented on the media (not mandatory atm) then it downscales hd content to sd with any analogue connection, even hd capable component connections

theres no dvd recorders with a hdmi input. hdmi is a b!tch because it requires a handshake by all devices before an image will display and this is obviously an anti piracy feature of hdmi which is why the big CE manufacturers backed it. without this handshake there is nothing stopping you from plugging ur Blu-Ray player into a BR recording device and recording then burning pristine 1080p movies. yeah good luck.

Bugger. Do HDCP strippers work? Are they legal?

Is there a way to transfer material off your Foxtel hard drive (ie rip/burn), that anyone knows of?

Yes.
I have my Foxtel IQ2 also connected to a Panasonic 1TB hard-drive blu-ray.
I can record in HD onto the IQ2 box, copy it to the Panasonic 1TB hard drive, and then burn it onto a blank blu-ray disk.
If I want to copy it for a mate who doesn't have a blu-ray player, I can burn it onto a normal DVD but of course, the resolution will be lower.
