Hi there,
I just got a UHD box from my TV provider and it does not work. The message says that the TV does not support the required UHD protection.
I am using the cables that the TV provider gave so it is not the cables. I have also activated HDMI UHD colour(with cable unplugged). Anyone have any idea why this is still not working?
Software version is 1400 (no updates available,so assume that this is most recent for my tv)
Thanks,
Neil
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Neilius, upon checking 1400 is the latest firmware on the Samsung site. However this is a 2014 model and only the MHL port can be used for UHD output as the only one HDCP 2.2 compatible. (the High Bandwidth Digital Copy protection) It was only from around 2016 that all ports were suitable on UHD Tv's. Therefore all you using the correct port and do you have UHD colour activated on this one. Your specific model is not on this list but it was port 4 for the HU8500 and in any case will be clearly labelled. UHD Ports on TV's I'm not sure on your provider ,are you based in Uk/Ireland and if so is it Sky/Virgin/BT. I would not rule out it being your cable even If should be ok as provided with new Box. Should be able to check guide online and if still issues may need to get back to them. For instance on Sky there is an 8 bit and 10 bit setting or the Box can automaticaly find the best setting that works for your TV.

Hi @Neilius, was changing the HDMI port the solution or was anything to do with settings? Just wish to check.

Sorry for the delayed response. It's port 4 nothing special needed.
Port 1-3 have the option to change the setting that's supposed to upgrade to hdmi 2. Port 4 not. I never tried this port as I assumed that this one was hdmi 1 only.

Good afternoon
Can anyone help me please.
I have just purchased a new UE55NU7021 which was working perfectly fine for the first few days through my SkyQ box but is now displaying the following message "this screen does not support HDCP". Sky are suggesting its the TV and not their hardware and i'm honestly a bit stressed out about it.
I have tried changing over the HDMI cables as I have others in the house, reset the TV twice and Sky box once and a number of soft reset options.
Can anyone please help?

Hi @marcj6551. Which HDMI port are you conecting your Sky box to on your TV? Is the software up to date?

Good morning Carl
Tell me you are going to be my saviour?
Last night I did the following:
Ensured the software was up to date
Did a soft reset on both the TV and Sky Box (with the HDMI cables out)
Ensured both HDMI sockets were switched to UHD
Checked that the input was running on 10 bit
And restarted everything and it all worked perfectly for a couple of hours and i turned it off and on during this time.
Just before I went to bed, I went went to turn the TV off only to be greated with the same (this screen does not support HDCP) message.
Now its back to the same problem and all this was in HDMI 1.
What do you think Carl?

Thanks for the info, @marcj6551. Just checked and the latest version is 1260.8. If your TV isn't recognising there is an update available, and providing you have access to a computer and USB stick, it can be downloaded from this link. Once downloaded, insert the USB stick into your TV. Let me know how you get on with this.
