I have the HDFury2 and it works beautifully through my eight year old RPCRT(via my AVR). In fact they have an updated model(third generation) coming out later next month. Since the item is made in Taiwan and it deals primarily with integrating "legacy" equipment they don't have any problem with legalities. They have been manufacturing and selling this for over four years. The chip in it is identical to what is in HDCP compliant televisions so it actually kind of "fools" the Blu-Ray player/AVR/Pre-Pro in to assuming the monitor is compliant, that is, even though it is connected via a component or VGA input. It really is not of any use if you have a newer monitor with HDMI connections. The advantage of it is you can connect your Blu-Ray player and get all the upscaling and video processing capabilities that you would otherwise not be able to get through a "component only" connection. Check "CurtPalme.com" for more info if you are interested in checking it out. It is well made and it works!

Assuming that this thing really is HDCP compliant it will not pass through hidef signals if the source has the copy protection flag enabled. If it does, then I suspect it will not be on the market very long and the makers will get sued. Several companies make similar devices, which do output high definition signals for flagged inputs, and no one's getting sued. HDCP implementation is wildly inconsistent. |

If it does, then I suspect it will not be on the market very long and the makers will get sued. I don't think this is manufactured in the US, so I don't think they could be sued. I'm not even sure it's illegal to buy and sell in the US. Just illegal to use. Kind of like fireworks in Ohio. You can buy and sell them, just don't use them. Even then their terms of use tries to indemnify by saying it's only for connecting to displays thereby making it part of the HDCP sink which would be legal. If you read their support page, they talk about legality. It's a funny read as they talk a lot about how unfair HDCP is, but no real legal precedent that would allow their device under DMCA rules. |

They are the same series so I think you have to wait until a new series is launched to get the discount.
