'Does not support HDCP' - Sony TV/Sky box problem - 27th Nov 2017 8:23pm
Apologies if we’ve already covered this subject. I bought a Sony Bravia TV a year ago and it’s developed an intermittent problem. Every so often, a message comes up, saying something like ‘This display does not support HDCP’. Then the screen goes a solid blue colour and stays like that.
The TV is connected to a Sky box and the only way I can eventually restore things is by switching off the TV and the Sky box and waiting till everything resets. It’ll be okay for a while, maybe several days, before the same thing happens again.
I’ve Googled the problem, but no one seems to have a definite answer. Some say it’s just a matter of getting a decent HDMI cable (which I have), others say it’s something to do with how you switch your devices on. I’m totally baffled. We have a Samsung TV connected to a Sky box in the next room and this has never happened to it. Is the problem with the Sony TV or the Sky box? If anyone could help, I’d appreciate it, because it’s incredibly annoying.
