Bypass DSTV HDCP

[Rural09]

Hi Guys, Im not sure if this topic has already been covered, but i'm gna give it a shot anyway.

As anyone with an HD capture device (for Xbox 360/PS3) will know, you cannot capture DSTV, they Block you through HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), basically, the decoder recognizes what you are trying to do, and blocks you.

However, I have seen that the Xbox One & PS4 are doing the same, and people have solved the issue by putting an HDMI Splitter between the console and the capture device.

Has anybody tried this with an HD PVR DSTV decoder? Or, has anybody successfully bypassed the DSTV HDCP through a different method and if so, how?

Hi. Can you confirm if this works please?
(HDMI splitter in between PS3 and TV, in order to strip out HDCP)

Thanks

Why would you want to capture DSTV though, there's much better quality without the adverts on the high seas and also other means if you after Discovery, Animal planet, natgeo etc

Relaying transmissions of ball related gaming events on to friends who pulled a "Steve" would be a pretty genius use case for it.
