I need a device which has HDMI in, HDMI out and can get rid of HDCP. I have a Motorola Satellite receiver connected to a Pioneer VSX 92 receiver. The Satellite receiver was working fine with the Pioneer receiver until a new update was sent down and now I get a black screen that says “HDMI splitter found”.

I called the Satellite provider and the solution is connecting the Satellite receiver directly to the TV or use component cables to the Pioneer VSX 92 receiver. I don’t have the option to connect the satellite receiver directly to the TV as I have only one HDMI port on the TV and have three HDMI components. I don’t want to use component cables as if find the picture is not as good as HDMI.

Is there a device out there that can remove HDCP so I can use my Satellite with my Pioneer VSX 92 receiver?

Is the problem with Pioneer AV receiver or Motorola satellite receiver? I know the satellite receiver is putting out the error and sees the AV receiver as a splitter. Does pioneer need to make HDCP compliant firmware update or does the satellite receiver need a update to work with the AV receiver?

If it is the Pioneer AV receiver that will not do DHCP compliant switching, is there any other brand that does?

It's the STB at fault, the Pioneer AV Receiver is considered an HDMI repeater and the implementation of HDMI on the STB isn't handling it correctly. Until your provider fixes their box, you are basically SOL.
