Get this! I have an original Mac Pro, with original video hardware, and when I upgraded iTunes to 8.1, I was locked out of all of my HD tv shows (that I have been watching regularly), with an HDCP authentication error. I have a Syncmaster T240 HDMI/DVI screen, as well... you would think it would work..

Has anyone else had this problem? I am running OS X 10.5.6...

If I recall correctly the X1900 chipset is "HDCP ready" but actual support depends on there being another chip on the video card; I don't remember if the Apple OEM (probably Sapphire ODM) cards have the extra HDCP chip.

Isn't DRM fun?

No, DRM is definitely not fun. Strange thing is that Apple seems to think it should be working. I actually have the nVidia GeForce 7300 card in my machine, which (the apple variant) is supposed to support HDCP.

I have been working with apple on this for about 2 weeks now. They have pretty much stripped my system down and replaced everything... still not working.
