I am upgrading my monitor and I need advice:

If you are able to watch Directv2PC HD programming through your PC's digital connector, please post your video card and monitor model numbers. This will help me decide what to buy. Thank you for your help.

Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT (with copper tube cooling)

Directv2PC works pretty well for me.

Most of the current monitors should support HDCP via the digital inputs, if you browse them on say newegg.com, almost all list that....be careful of the way offbrands to be safe...I have both a 22 and 24 Sceptre XGxx-Naga models and they both do.

I've got GeForce 8500 video card and both Samsung and Asus monitors. Both work (individually).

Things are changing. Even shows off the Discovery channel now will not play without HDCP.
