Stuff like this is the reason I've avoided HDMI on almost all receivers (used component) for the last 6 years. Only just now am I using HDMI on my HDTVs since it seems that HDCP is rearing it's ugly head. We can only expect more and more of this in the future. HDMI is great but the DRM is not only easily cracked but it's also broken and doesn't work right half of the time.
