Star Trek CBS Series To Be Streamed Internationally On Netflix (variety.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Netflix has announced that it has secured a deal to stream every episode of the new Star Trek TV series within 24 hours of its original network broadcast. However, neither the U.S. nor Canadian subscribers are included in the deal, which otherwise covers every territory that Netflix operates in worldwide. Stateside viewers will be able to stream the new show via CBS's own All Access digital subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service, with Canadian streaming provisions yet to be announced. The deal represents a potential major step forward in the company's determination to bypass regional licensing, and at one stroke eliminates the typical years of delay that occur when a U.S. program seeks foreign audiences.

    A simple HDMI splitter also does the job along with an ElGato game capture device.

    If you get the right kind of splitter on Amazon (B0089DSLMY), HDCP somehow gets lost along the way and you wind up with an unencrypted digital signal.
