On a TCPA based attempt, the chip could deliver protected data streams only to TCPA authenticated software, or do a TCPA based encryption of the data stream. In that case, only TCPA authenticated graphics cards can receive/decrypt the video stream, and have to make sure that the video material is only available on HDCP encrypted outputs, and not to untrusted software like VDR. But thats all pure theory until S2 cards get actually available. Cheers, Udo
