Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have connected my pad to my hd tv via a hdmi cable . I can view everything on my ipad including music videos BUT NOT FILMs
The on screen message says "the connected display is not authorised to play protected movies"
Is this correct?? Do I need another gizmo???
It's very frustrating
Many thanks
iPad 2
Hello Trevor198,

HDCP requirements
iTunes Store movies (SD and HD) and TV shows (HD) require an HDCP digital connection such as the one provided when using the Apple Digital AV Adapter and HDMI cable. If you attempt to play this content using a non-HDCP digital connection, such as the Apple VGA Adapter, an alert will appear to let you know that an HDCP-compatible device is required. To view iTunes Store content using a non-HDCP digital connection, do one of the following:
- Sync the SD version of the TV show
- Use an Apple Component AV cable to play the HD version at 480p
- Use an Apple Composite AV cable to play the HD version at 480i
Attempting to play rental content on a device that requires an HDCP digital connection may start the rental timer. Use one of the recommended Apple AV cables to view your rental before the time limit expires.
