    I'd like to use an application (DirecTV2PC) on my VPC-SA that requires HDCP. I've heard with the default Sony hybrid drivers only the Intel HD driver supports HDCP and not the ATI Radeon 6630M driver. When I check the ATI web site it claims the 6630 does support HDCP. When I run the application it confirms HDCP (Screen Capture Protection) is not enabled.

    Does anyone know how to enable HDCP on the Sony 6630 driver package? Do the OEM ATI drivers support HDCP? If so, is it possible to update just the ATI driver without affecting the Intel/hybrid switching driver?

    I'm really disappointed to have this issue with my new SA. I have an older EB with a Radeon 5650 that runs the application perfectly.
