One of the most common issues I run into in my work (ISP 2nd line helldesk) is customer TVs being incompatible with HDCP. Those are fun conversations where you have to tell a customer his TV is just too old.

Step 1: Buy tv/movie from streaming site Step 2: Get told i'm not allowed to watch in HD because something in my setup doesn't support DRM-horseshit Step 3: Yarr Harr the 4k version and remember why i don't try to support my favorite shows..

"High-bandwidth digital content protection, or S H I T" Hahahahahaha whoever wrote this is the best!
-
You gotta love how many schemes that content providers come up with to try and prevent, yet further justify piracy.
-
I found it hilarious when boxes started appearing that "downgrade" the latest HDCP to an older one, "to help with compatibility" said the manufacturer. They're very useful😉

1:00 Linus that's not how you spell HDCP XD
-
I'd take 30 cables over hdcp bs.

Great video Linus! Thanks for the info and easy to understand explanations. Love the abbreviation for HDCP. ;)

I think it's cute that the media companies who created HDCP seems to think that people pirate their content by making a real-time recording of the original video with something like a VHS recorder like it's still the early 90s. Instead of just, y'know, ripping the digital file directly from the source.

Yeah... My cable box even prevented me from recording a rented movie to my dvd recorder, saying "Cant record copy protected content" when i pressed the record button on the dvd, connected via SCART, the older, fatter and analog brother of HDMI. But that was easy to bypass. 2 adapters and 6 wire cable, and i was able to record it.

HDCP sounds incredibly illegal. Okay so that was a joke about CP, but unironically HDCP should be illegal

Thank you for this video 🙌🏼 I had issues with my Nintendo switch having this error with an older tv I hooked it up to on vacation and out of all the Nintendo switch “help” videos THIS one had my answer. Thank you for this content!

Anyone else see DHCP when they read the title? LOL
-
Love the sarcasm, if anything HDCP is causing people to download pre-ripped content due to all the problems it causes. As always thanks Linus you da best!

I've used my 42" Toshiba flat screen for my PC for many years now(I think the TV was bought back in 2012). Even when I had 2 tv's(for L4D2 multi local), one with HDMI and the other with DVI-to-HDMI adapter, I never had any issues.

Thanks for spelling it out Linus, I almost spewed my tea all over my desk.

HDCP? Linus, you're gonna get in a lot of trouble with the FBI, bud.
