Quick question re; HDMI
I understand that some HD video signals have a copy protection system that prevents playback over anything but a HDMI connection.
If I connect via a HDMI connection for video and, say, optical to an amp for sound then would this cause the copy protection to kick in or is it OK as long as video goes via HDMI? |

are you sure you are not confusing this with HDCP high-bandwith Digital content protection?? if your tv has the hd ready logo, your tv will read the HDMI-HDCP encryption

Now I intend to connect to the TB via a HDMI interface but want the sound routed elsewhere via optical input. Would the copy protection kick in then or is that OK as the video goes via HDMI? Hope thats a bit clearer

HDCP doesn't 'kick in' at all, it's either there or it's not, and it's not anything to do with the optical audio output - so you can use that regardless.
