I've been wanting a device like this for so long so i can record tid bits and review them later for myself. Now it's all shattered dreams again. Encryption hurts legitimate users.

Seems likely this is a violation of the HDMI spec, and thus possibly a legal contract. Seems like Gefen should be expecting a lawsuit any minute now... What Dave said.

Though, you're probably right I won't be on top of the list for future review products. I am pretty lazy… ;) For the record, we (over)paid for the box so their PR person is in the clear.

After all, he can't even be bothered to <a href="http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2008-03/another-itunes-subscription-rumor/" rel="nofollow"> program his own playlists!</a> Gefen probably just assumed that Dave would be too lazy to open the box up.

All CE devices that have been released in the recent past all get dissected, photo'ed and shown on the Internet. I guess these guys don't look at tech blogs.

The price tag is in the stratosphere, and, like you said, low on the features. It really is just a stepping stone device. Eh, this thing isn’t that great.

Encrypting the drive is more of a reaction, probably to save face. The original question stands: How are they compliant with HDCP? We updated our box’s firmware via a SD card.
