:confused:
"I'd think" the non HDCP supported monitor would need to be connected via VGA. "but" you might try using it as your secondary and not move the app over to that window [or the other way around, move it to the HDCP compliant monitor before trying to play a recording].

Well it actually works, it doesn't "want" to work but if you play with it then it actually does. When you drag the window over to the HDCP compliant display and play an HD recording the window just turns black but it doesn't actually fail with any kind of error. As as you get the control bar back by mousing over it if you hit pause then play it suddenly starts playing. It does the same thing unprotected content as well . You just have to convince it that it should play.

Once it starts going it's really kind of nice.

Can't believe I've missed this! However, when I try to get the app at

directv.com/directv2pc

absolutely nothing happens. I've tried 3 different browsers and still no change. Anyone have any ideas?

I have the app but not a Serial Number. I think I need to click through on Directv to get a number?

Its something with my firewall. I downloaded from Directv on my netbook and submitted for a key.

FWIW, my primary email - with Time Warner didn't work...never got a key. Can't figure out why?? ;)
Used Gmail and got a key within minutes.

I can access my receiver but no playback as my video card is substandard. :mad: Entire machine just locks when I try to playback. I've been contemplating some new equipment. I might just have to upgrade now.

FWIW, just upgraded my Intel Core 2 Duo based 24" iMac to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). I'm running XP Pro SP3 under Boot Camp 3.0.

DIRECTV2PC v5514 seems to run fine. :D
