My frst post so hope this is ok...
Realise our box is not new but its not old either - this has happened occasionally before but this week gradually more frequntly until until every swith on now: after a couple of minutes of switching on, and the TV programme showing fine, it has shuts off the programme and shows a message :
"The programme cannot be viewed via HDMI connection because your TV does not support digital content protection (HDCP). Disconnect HDMI cable and connect composite video connector to watch the programme in standard resolution."
Our TV is a newish Samsung and does support HCDP In the last few days it has intermittently failed to play recordings. After a week of this, yesterday there was no HDMI message and it played recordings fine. Today it wont and the HDMI message is back!
Humax support has said repace HDMI cable, and/or do the factory reset which wipes all recordings and programmimg, plus try it on another TV. I am fairy sure its not the TV, have tried the factory reset which leaves recordings intact as would like to save hubbys recordings of the Tour de France if poss!
Help! Anyone got a solution apart from chucking it away?!
