Please correct me if I am wrong.

The way MythTV works is by rendering the output on an Xorg/XF86 screen
and then computer then sends its X signal out to a
monitor/tv/projector. This allows for pausing, OSD and all the other
cool things that MythTV does. Therefore because Myth is decoding the
picture itself (rather than sending the raw HD signal to the tv)
wouldn't HDCP be an issue?
