&gt; HDMI causes a lot of problems (and price increases) because of HDCP.<p>And the way around it (in the specific case of HDCP) is often to buy cheap, probably non-standards compliant equipment, which isn&#x27;t a good situation for anyone. I recall reading that the VitaTV had HDCP, yet I hadn&#x27;t encountered that issue. Turns out the HDMI switcher I was using (the cheapest one I could find on Amazon with two outputs) was just stripping it off.
