Sadly, any compliant player for HD-Content will do the same. I'd be surprised if you're more successful with netflix, but I can't test since I'm not a netflix customer. There's enough people reporting problems with netflix and not HDCP compliant setups though.

Open source players are fine, but there's still the problem of finding a streaming service that supports open-source players or even just HD content without DRM. Now, you can go and torrent all your videos you'd like to watch but some of use prefer the ease of use and the legality of using an existing streaming service.

I sympathise, but isn't that really the point: if you can't re-stream it how you want, is the existing streaming service really easy to use?

As I said in my previous post: I think DRM is crappy and stupid, but that's how things currently are. And since there are devices that support HDCP over the air (apple tv, HP Wireless Connect, DLNA) the "ease of use" factor is given. I doubt consumers will be all-pleased if they buy an Airtame and netflix doesn't work.

(BTW: I don't think that Streaming Services just implement DRM because they think it's fun and I don't expect right holders will be enlightened any time soon)
