    Sadly it is a limitation of Microsoft Windows 7 Media Center.  Even though DisplayPort 1.1 and 1.2 are technically capable of HDCP and your graphic card and display support it, Windows 7 Media Center does not.  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2392252 for more information.

    If it is Copy-Freely content you can restore and then maximize Windows Media Center and it will play but not Copy-Once or higher.

    Yup.  I discovered all of the above during the process.  At first I feared there was something wrong with the u3011 (which I purchased off ebay). I was relieved to find it was a problem with Windows instead.

    Clearly it is a bug in Media Center… two bugs really.  1) not accounting for DHCP compatible DisplayPort, and 2) the requirement to restore/maximize for content that is copy-freely.
