How to capture HDCP-encrypted HDMI sources (Vudu, Netflix, Directv, Virgin Media, etc.) . . lots of info and feedback.
Thanks, very helpful info here so what Im seeing is basically at the most I would just need a HDMI capture/recorder and possibly a HDMI Splitter or HDCP remover I was thinking something like this
since it seems to have HDCP removal built in
would one of these also work
