On what device are you using the Apple TV app?

HDCP errors often point to unsupported parts for HDCP in the HDMI chain. Please describe the rest of your equipment. Any use of adapters, splitters, converters, etc.?

For use with screen mirroring, screen sharing, screen capturing, remote login, etc., HDCP may disable the video for that too.
