Awesome! So now au just need to replace my two older LCD TV's so that I can use my precious ATV's!
They've been working fine for 7 months, but now Apple has dictated that I need new TV's...
*goes to Amazon.com to order two roku boxes*
That's weird. I solved my HDCP problem by replacing the HDMI cable and all the content that wasn't playing started playing again.
I tested my Apple TV in the bedroom with different cables, without my hdmi switch etc., didn't work. Took it in the bedroom, hooked it up to that tv, worked like a charm. I'll have to try the sleep thing in the support article, I suspect it won't work...
As for tv firmware, my tv is too old for that. I really don't want to have to buy a digital to analog converter and then plug it in w/ component cables!!!
Sleep trick didn't work...😢
Since replacing my router with a high speed model and hard wiring the apple tv to it via ethernet cable I haven't had any further issues.
New ethernet cable didn't change a thing!😟
^ why would you replace the Ethernet cable? The error clearly tells you it's an issue with the HDMI cable, or TV...
Mine started working again, but I'll probably switch to the ROKU streaming stick when it is released. At least it has Hulu+
Hey, I just wanna get it working. Last guy said hard wiring fixed his problem, gave it a shot. I've tried EVERYTHING!
Your's just started working again all by itself?
Well, if i remember correctly, a netflix phone rep told me it may be a bandwidth issue causing the error message. All I know is with a higher powered router and everything hard wired no no error messages in a while now. I have gotten a couple momentary freeze ups, if the xbox, 2 computers, ipad and ipod are all hogging bandwidth, but not like before.
I suggest everyone report their experience with this ATV feedback form:
My "not-so-smart" TV in the room works like a charm with the exisiting HDMI cable and ATV. As soon as I move the same set up to my few-years-old Samsung in the living room, the error message appears. The error applies to Netflix and the home video we shot on our iPhones (we tried to play via Airplay). Believe me, I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this issue, no solutions have been found so far. I do believe there is something to do with the firmware, and Apple could absolutely fix it.
Well, mine did it again last night. Nothing has changed (AT ALL) in the past six weeks. SO FRUSTRATING!
This NEVER happened prior to the last firmware update!
I've had this problem off and on, and the solution has changed with each firmware update. Unplugging HDMI cables or powering off atv2 or the tv no longer works... the problem is now my router! Whenever we have low bandwidth, either because we have too many wifi devices, or my flaky cable company can't keep up with demand, I get the HDCP error.
Bottom line: unplug your router, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. If that doesn't work, reset your cable modem. Problem solved (for now).
Well, my ATV in my bedroom worked just fine last night...
After upgrading to the latest software update (today) this error is back!
**** YOU APPLE! These ******** are going on eBay tomorrow! Rediculous!!
HDCP error and netflix apple tv 2
