I have a 2009 Lg 37lh30 Tv and for the most part it works until recently. I am now getting a HDCP rejection when using an Apple tv or Roku and no screen when using my bluRay Player (which use to work

I now the devices work b/c I have tried them on many other tvs. I have tried using other cords. I have tried fliping the cord ends to see if it is a directional issue. I have tried all 3 of my HDMI ports and none of them work. My cable coax and s video cables work but none of the HDMI work. I have tried holding down the power button per Roku but no help. The BluRay player has been updated with the newest update and still no screen. The Roku you can see all of the apps and go into the menu but once you play the video you recieve a purple screen and an error of "HDCP unauthorised. Content disabled."

Some TV's & cables are not HDCP compliant . Sometimes you can replace the cable to fix the problem & other times you have to replace the tv because its not HDCP compliant . First check to see if your tv is HDCP compliant .

The quick fit is put a HDMI-EDID emulator (with HDCP) between your TV HDMI port and Apple TV or Roku Player. Basically, the emulator just feed the Apple TV or Roku player with correct EDID and HDCP key, so the Apple TV or Roku player will think that you have a HDCP compliant HDMI TV.

SOURCE: When i try to play a Blue Ray DVD, the LG LCD tv

Pickled! You did right by checking the cables, the tv inputs and as well the output on the blue ray...even by replacing the blue ray. Which leads to a problem within the tv monitor. I can only guess there is something in the software of the tv that is causing the problem. I can only suggest two options. If can connect the tv to a network via CAT5 cable, you can do a frimware update to the tv. Sort of like a software update. If it is not available, try to swap the HDMI cable for the 5 RCA component video. It will still carry HD signal, just not as crisp as the HDMI. I would be floored if the same thing happened with the component cable.

Hello,

This is an known issue for LG streaming video from USB devices, it also happens to LG HDTV's for unknown reasons. No permanent fix yet but normally rewinding the movie and fast forwarding again to the same spot fixes it but not permanently as it might re-occur anytime.l

Hello
Connections with DVD-TV is of main concern. For HDCP connections, very high quality cables [like Monster Cables] should be used. There is special type of cables to connect to HDCP. The length, wire guage, shield of these cables are of special types, and signal loss will be negligable. Connect the TV with DVD with good quality cable packed specially for HDCP. This will solve the problem. OK.

Is there a solution to update my LG 55G2-UG HDMI port to comply with an HDCP error between my tv and my Sony Receiver STR-DH590?

HDCP 2.2 wasn't released until 2014. The LG 55G2 was released in 2012. There's no way to upgrade the TV, unless you replace it. Using a splitter probably wouldn't help. The device sending the HDCP check needs every part of the HDMI cable daisy-chain system to send back a "Yes I understand" message in 20ms.

Since a receiver isn't usually sending copy-protected video, this message is coming from one of the devices. Reset the resolution for that device to 1080p. Based on your description of the problem, you need to change the video output on the cable box. This depends on the cable box model and the guide it uses. However, either turn off the receiver with the cable box and TV left on. Alternatively, connect the cable box to the TV directly. For some, you then press Menu (for the cable box) twice to get to general settings. Then enter the audio/video section and look for the video output formats. See https://www.spectrum.net/support/tv/hdtv-picture-formats for some of the reset steps. In some cases, you may need to use a different video output to the TV to get a picture, instead of the error message, to access the menu at all.

On my set-top box, I sometimes connect the RF output to the RF on the TV when the set-top box sends a "out of range" signal. I set the TV to channel 3 (in my case) and then reset the video format. Other times, I just get the blank screen but the menu still works to reset the output format.

I hope this helps.

I keep getting a HDCP error on my LG tv, I have a ROKU, and it doesn't matter if it is is plugged into the first port or the second port, arc. Or if is HDM1 or HDM2, the error message keeps coming up

hi this is caused by a stup1d copyright protocol in hdmi called HDCP.
If your TV is an older model it may not have HDCP compliance.
I call it stup1d because you can be legally watching content and still have problems if your tv is not HDCP compliant.

Error message: HDCP unauthorized. Content disabled. Get audio but no visual

It is a Roku vs TV interpreation of HDMI. IMO it is Roku being too protective. No other box in the house has a problem with any of TVs or cables. New cables did nothing and the cables were the latest and gold plated. Reboot the Roku and it works....for a while until it comes back.

Don,
The HDMI is best..but you need the standard HDMI cable. BUT this JVC is in the new Noah movie? Seriously, it wont handle Roku. The digital in function is strictly 480 p.
I think you will have to upgrade to a newer tv for this source

Roku 3 hdcp

Hello... I searched the internet and found this. I hope this helps...

To resolve the "HDCP unauthorized. Content disabled" issue, try these steps:
  1. If you are trying to stream 4K Ultra HD content when you see the purple screen, review the instructions for setting up your Roku player for 4K. Go to the next step if you continue to see a purple screen.
  2. On both your Roku player and your TV or AVR, unplug each end of the HDMI cable.
  3. Power off your TV and your Roku player and unplug their respective power supplies.
  4. Reconnect both ends of the HDMI cable, pushing them firmly, all the way in.
  5. Reconnect your TV and your Roku player to their power supplies and power them on.
  6. Try viewing the video again.
If the above did not resolve your issue, try these additional suggestions:
  • Try a different HDMI input on your TV.
  • Try using a different HDMI cable (less than 6 feet if available), just to make sure the cable you are currently using does not have any defects.
  • If you are using an HDMI switch or AVR, try connecting the Roku player directly to the TV.
  • Try another TV, if possible.
  • If you are using a computer monitor, try using a TV, if possible.
  • Try using different Display Settings on your Roku player. You can find these settings under Settings >Display type.
  • If this is the first time you are seeing this HDCP purple screen after setting up your Roku player, ensure that your TV and/or AVR supports HDCP. Contact your equipment manufacturer for more information.

I have a Samsung C230 LED monitor and I'm wondering if I can use it with a Roku XD/S in place of a TV via the hdmi cable?

as far as i can tell this monitor is not HDCP compliant ( High Def Copy Protection ) and therefore will not be suitable as a TV monitor. Computers can use non HDCP compliant monitors but TV Tuners, Satellite Receivers, DVD players etc with HDMI are HDCP compliant and must have a HDCP display... HDMI has two formats basically HDCP and non HDCP

Hdcp error mesage when connected to my freeview hd box.

What is a HDCP error? Here is a real life situation that happened that could happen to you. You just bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and connected it to your older HDTV with a HDMI cable. When you tried playing a Blu-ray disc a HDCP error was shown on the screen. The movie wouldn't play.
This is a known issue with HDCP, and it's one of the biggest hassles consumers will have to deal with when utilizing a HDMI cable on their HDTV. You will get a HDCP error if you try watching HDCP encoded content when using a HDMI cable.
The problem is that if HDCP exists anywhere in the video stream then all devices and cables accessing this content must be HDCP compliant. If one device or cable isn't HDCP compliant then you get a HDCP error.
The only solution is to either replace the HDMI cable with a non-digital cable or replace the HDCP-less device. This could mean buying a new HDTV. In fact, I worked with a reader last year troubleshooting a HDCP error on his TV. What happened is that he bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and connected everything properly only to get a HDCP error. After a few emails back and forth we discovered that his HDTV wasn't HDCP compatible, which is why he got the HDCP error.
The reader ended up buying a newer HDTV with HDCP, and his Blu-ray Disc Player worked perfectly with HDMI cables.
