Not quite. The problem is that when you involve hardware, things are exponentially harder. When you tie it with content streaming, it's essentially a losing battle. Hardware: makes cracking much much harder and out of reach for a lot of people. Even the people that can do it are going to be drastically slowed down due to this. Streaming: means you can block specific device keys once you know they are compromised (the hacker managed to mod the TV to be able to record from it).
