High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection that prevents copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. This latest standard HDCP 2.2 was enforced as a result of content producers’ demands to protect their content. HDCP2.2 was not yet implemented when 4K (UHD) TVs were initially manufactured.
However, most 4K TVs sold since 2015 are HDCP 2.2 compatible. To check if your TV is HDCP 2.2 compatible, check your owner’s manual, check the support pages for your TV, or contact your TV manufacturer.
HDMI cable connection failure between your digital box/PVR and the TV can result in the error messages listed below. These errors can be random and sometimes more frequent but can often be resolved with a few simple troubleshooting steps.
