Hey folks,
Recently built a new home planning to use a rackmounted Windows 7 computer/HTPC to play and serve media throughout the house. The system is an Intel i7 920 with a Radeon 6870 graphics card and the Ceton Quad-Tuner card to decode my Time Warner Cable. Everything works almost without a hitch. I can tune/record all channels on a Panasonic TV hooked to an Xbox 360 working as an extender. I can tune/record all channels on my Dell 24 inch monitor which is attached to the computer using an HDMI cable and DVI to HDMI converter. I can also tune/record all channels on my 46 inch Samsung television connected the same way. Where things fall apart is when I connect my Samsung SP-A800B DLP projector. The nonprotected, local channels show up fine, but whenever I move up the list to the Discovery, BBC, Showtime, basically anything with some material worth watching I get the dreaded HDCP Support Required error. Sometimes I can drag the size of the window smaller than resize and the video works for a while, but the error always comes back, or any time I try changing to another channel I get my HDCP Support Required.
All I can read (which, unfortunately isn't much) about this projector shows that both HDMI ports are HDCP compliant. Back in it day, 2008, this was an $8000+ projector so I'd really hate to see it not work. Basically what the heck is going on here and what can I do to fix it?
