I have downloaded films from Apple TV site many times and I can't watch the films because there is a 'HDCP' issue. Can't watch the films that Apple advertises so well and me, like others have lost a sh*t load of money and yet, no solution is given or in sight ....Need to change that quickly !
iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.5

I am not sure what you didn't understand...I have an iMac bought new in a Apple store at the end of 2017 with a 4K screen. I have downloaded serveral films on the Apple TV app (the Apple made series seem to work well) but 3rd-party films just don't show. I can't keep looking at films on an iPhone screen. That's pointless ! So what's the solution ? Until Apple actaully deals with the issue and sends out a 'patch' or whatever....I am not spending money for it to be 'lost' because some software isn't uptodate or whatever it is ......So now I'll just renew my subscription to Netflix !!
I am unable to recreate your issue; you didn't initially state that you are using the TV app on an iMac. My TV app works as expected on my iMac and MacBook. Perhaps contact Apple Support.
Not sure of your exact issue, but that typically points to a cable issue or to a much older tv.
