That tech isn't really DRM. It in no way reduces or inhibits current functionality. All it does is provide something extra that content providers may choose to use (for streaming hd video). You aren't forced into using it, and if you don't have it you simply won't be able to take advantage of those kinds of streams. Much unlike HDCP which virtually all computers have nowadays and actually does inhibit normal functionality.
