Hello,

I am hoping to use the program DIRECTV2PC on my guest installation of XP.
The program allows you to view content from an HD DirecTV receiver on a local network. Unfortunately, DirecTV had to comply with some rather strict digital copy protection guidelines, and I haven't had much luck getting it to do what I want. On a machine running XP as the host, the program won't display video if there are multiple monitors (rendering it near-useless, in my opinion). With VirtualBox, I was able to get almost everything working, except a moment after the video starts I get the following message:

"DIRECTV2PC cannot display this video because your graphics card does not currently support screen capture protection for protected content. Try updating your graphics card driver or modify your driver settings."

I guess my question is whether there is a way to "spoof" the graphics card as something other than "VirtualBox Graphics Adapter" that DIRECTV2PC would see as compliant (or any other suggestions).

Thank you.

Only thing you can try is enabling 3d in guest settings, 64 MB VRAM and install guest additions.

There are two options. Neither it works or works not.
