HDTV / HDCP / DVI
 

I have a Samsung 210T LCD computer monitor that is also HDTV "ready"
for 720p or 1080i. I has DVI-D, S-Video, & SVGA inputs - NO Composite
input. Samsung has designed the HDTV feed into the DVI-D input. It
appears as if the DVI input was designed prior to the HDCP (Copy
Protection) standard and does NOT have HDCP decoding built into the
DVI input.

Therefore, in the future I may not be able to view any/all "copy
protected" HDTV programming. I would like to maximize my dual use of
this monitor & somehow still use the DVI input for HDTV programming.
I am not a pirate or a "duper".

Is anyone aware of a composite to DVI converter? OR, is anyone aware
of a Direct TV HDTV receiver still marketed with a non-HDCP DVI
output? Would the DVI output still work when the broadcaster's copy
protect flag was sent to the receiver? On the land cable front I
understand the local provider - Comcast is using a Motorola DCT 5100
as a HDTV receiver but the DVI output may be disabled and/or the tech
specs don't mention HDCP. Does anyone know the particulars of this
Motorola? Or, does anyone know how to enable the port?

Thanks for all your time & consideration!!!!!!!!!!
