I can confirm it's not going to work, at least not without a HDCP remover in the middle (*cough*HDFury2*cough*). Blackmagic Intensity does not support HDCP encryption. Take it from someone who attempted to experiment on this when baeyong first came out.

There's another card out that supports HDCP- AVerMedia HD-DVR iirc. Not sure if it's available in Malaysia tho- I hear people say it's available, but I can't find one personally. However, from what I read it's HDCP support isn't much of an improvement- it allows Assteruk to display on the computer (compare to black screen with message "Copy Protection Failed" on a Blackmagic Intensity) but attempting to record will result in the "Copy Protection Failed" error.

Like Chikana said you can still record from analog with HD signal downsampled to SD tho, which is a somewhat acceptable compromise for me. Which is still somewhat better than TM's IPTV (even analog SD is Macrovision protected  )

Yes, noticed that HDFury3 is quite expensive, around GBP181 from Amazon.co.uk. I'll try to replace it with ViewHD device available from Amazon.com for USD81. ViewHD has similar features as HDFury3.

Pure HDMI stripper is illegal but HDMI to analog video is legal. Device you would look for is View HD Two Input HDMI to RGB Component YPbPr / VGA 2x1 Switch Converter Support 5.1CH Surround Sound

Avermedia came out with HD EzRecorder which is a standalone HD recorder. This is my dream device. It is so brand new that it is not available on Amazon yet. I have 3 weeks window to order this from Amazon without paying for shipping charge and I'm afraid I'll miss it. 

Just looked up the EzRecorder. Sounds interesting. I wonder if any shop in Malaysia will pick it up. On the other hand, it has to be used with a HDMI-to-Component box with built-in HDCP support or it's not going to work. And I don't think those are sold in Malaysia? I saw some in HDMI to Component/VGA converters in Viewnet but am not sure it support HDCP.

I'm going to order ViewHD HDMI to Component Converter together with ViewHD 4I2O HDMI Switch from Amazon in next couple of days. If you can wait, HD EZRecorder should eventually be available in Malaysia as another product Game Capture HD is already available. Both are almost identical product except EZrecorder has scheduled recording feature. There is a local distributor for Avermedia and should be widely available from Lowyat and also Lelong. I'm going to wait to take advantage of local warranty but I need to order ViewHD now because my friend will be back from US in 3 weeks time.

Ya, my friend is in Oregon right now. Both AVerMedia DarkCrystal HD (aka USB HD DVR) and Hauppauge HD PVR are similar product at similar pricing, need to connect to PC and and support up to 1080i. Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle is a better product that support up to 1080p resolution but requires USB3.0. Avermedia is more widely available locally especially ordering thru Lelong for those not around KL like me. There are Blackmagic dealers mainly in KL. Not sure about Hauppauge dealers in MY. I do not intend to move my PC to living room for recording hence EZrecorder is a blessing for me and it will replace my old Panasonic DVR.

Where did you bought it from? Most TV should have a component input, at least both of my Sharp and Samsung have it.
