Hope this is the appropriate place to post this. I meant to do it yesterday but forgot.
So I'm going to watch the Ali Kahn/Danny Garcia fight live on HBO last Saturday night. The time comes and I flip to the station and instead of a picture I get a message telling me (essentially)that I cannot receive the broadcast because my receiver does not have HDCP (high def content protection) actively engaged. It also tells me how to navigate the system setup/installation/system info menus to verify this. Sure enough, I sail throught the steps and come to a screen which says (among other things) "HDCP off". Trouble is, there's no provision available to me via the remote to change the setting.
A quick call to Dish TV tech support and I am told by the rep that the reason I cannot recive this broadcast is because my sat receiver to tv connection is HDMI. If I were to switch to composite instead,the HDCP setting would automatically switch to "on" and I'd be in high cotton.
Incidentally, they rebroadcast the same fight the next day and I watched it unevenfully with the HDMI cable in place.
I've been with Dish TV since 1996 and had a suite of hi-def channels for at leats 10 years, watched a slew of previous fights (both pay per view and other) and never experienced this problem. Can anyone shed a little light?
