Add HDCP through DVI box??
I just thought of a product that I don't know if anyone already or is planning on making, but I think they could make a ton of money off of it. I have a 23" HD 1920x1200 DVI computer display that doesn't have HDCP, but my computer's specs are plenty to watch a Blu-ray movie on, once I get a blu-ray drive, which could be very soon, but because my display isn't HDCP, then from what I understand I'll be left with a resolution only slightly better than current NTSC. What I though about would be some sort of passthrough box for DVI and HDMI that would include aHDCP chip and thus allow all of us with HD screen that aren't HDCP compliant to get full resolution from our Blu-ray or even HD DVD discs.
Does anyone know of such a device or would that not be possible due to some sort of needing to license the HDCP chip and nobody willing to license it to essentially remove the copy protection? I don't want this for any illicit purpose, I just want to use my $2,000 screen to watch full HD content on.
