Today you can get HDMI copy protection strippers in the form of certain exact model numbers of HDMI signal splitters. You have to get the exact correct model and it will pretend to be a DRM-enabled HDMI endpoint and strip it on the split end. You do not have to plug two HDMI monitors in. Just one is fine.
They will enable things like Amazon or Roku HDMI dongles to work with computer monitors that do not support HDMI encryption. The most common use is just that, not to pirate anything.
- spookthesunset 5y agoMan I love that we now live in an era where this kind of thing can be easily purchased. Back in the day when I had SageTV as my DVR ripping off the content protection crap was impossible… all HD content had to be analog.
- jandrese 5y agoI was forced to go this route to get a Roku dongle to work through my receiver. I had actually bought an Amazon Fire Stick first and it had the same problem and returned it. Once the Roku failed in the same way I had to resort to the more drastic measures of going on Amazon and buying a $20 splitter. But now if I wanted to pirate something I could. It would be super easy too, since there's an open port I could plug the recorder right into.
