Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Brian,
I would tend to agree with you, but my TV does support HDCP and the adaptor I am using works fine with another HDCP STB's.
I called and talked to a very knowledgeable technician at MovieBeam. He told me that they require HDMI. I asked him why DVI with HDCP wasn't enoough and he explained that it had something to do with the chipset they were using, it actually checks for HDMI and if it sees a HDMI-DVI adaptor it will not allow HD content despite being HDCP compliant.
Feel free to call MovieBeam Tech support ask for David G., he will be happy to explain it to you.
I do know that HDMI supports additional standards above and beyond what DVI supports, but I don't think this is anything more than poor hardware support.
