DRM Problems

I've been fiddling around with Netflix for the past couple days. From what I understand, the motion picture companies have required Android devices to have a hardware-based DRM system because of the openness of the platform. As such, it is only working on certain devices. Unfortunately, this means we might never get Netflix to work on the Edge devices because of their weird Marvell processors.

You might consider watching to see if the xda community can devise some kind of solution to the DRM problem. As just another note, my friend has a G-tab, and he has managed to get it to work despite having a Tegra 2 processor (which, apparently, doesn't have any hardware-based DRM capabilities). However, some people with different custom ROMs have been having similar problems getting Netflix to work. This leaves me with some hope that it is just a matter of time before the tech wizards fix the problem.
