This allows for other information to be sent along with the video signal, such as digital content protections sometimes used with HD broadcasts. One type of protection is High-definition Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you connected your HD DVR to your TV using a digital video cable (HDMI or HDMI-to-DVI), all of the digital information for a program, including the video signal and any content protections, is passed to the TV.
