I found a little box called "DVI Magic" that supposedly strips the HDCP from the digital video, but it's susceptible to the dreaded HDCP "revocation lists."

Optoma did make a HDCP compliant DLP, the RD50H, I'll try writing them to see if this is retrofittable to the RD50. Thanks for the quick reply gonk.

PS (and totally off-topic). A few days ago I ran into an archived thread about a silly little device called the Clever Little Clock. Man did I have a laugh! Thanks for that! HAHA!
