The only reason you got HDMI at all was because the content owners managed to get HDCP included. You won't get a replacement that doesn't do HDCP until we fix the sorry state of copyright in the US.
So it's equivalent to asking if we're going to fix copyright within your lifetime... :)
When the revolution comes, all will be fixed.
Mmmmmhmmmmm. Yeah. But until then, it's equivalent to solving the halting problem.
"Come the revolution, things will be different." Not necessarily -better-, but _different_. <wry grin>
