Hi!I have a Toshiba 50H13 Widecreen HDTV. I have an HD digital cable box that is hooked up through the DVI port on the TV. Today, for no apparent reason, the TV has started displaying this warning:
"The HD content protection of your display has been compromised. Please use the YPbPr outputs for your HD connection."
Overlayed on top of the cable picture, then it goes away after a while. It seems to work fine after that, until I turn the TV off or switch video inputs... Sometimes after I turn the TV back on, there will be no picture at all until I unplug and reconnect the DVI cable...
Any ideas? I know that I could just use the component input, but I got the damn DVI cable box, DVI cable, and DVI TV, why not use the DVI input???
Thanks!

OK, update.I tried hooking it up with the component cables, same thing! But not from the component DVD player... I guess there must be a problem with the cable box...
Have you complained to your cable service provider? Like you said, it might be a problem with the cable box. Perhaps they can exchange it so you can try another.
You got that warning because you cable provider turned on HDCP on your DVI port on your cable box, you must have a HDCP compliant dvi port on your tv, which i dont think you do.
I got the same error message. I have a Toshiba 57h83 which supposedly has an HDCP compliant DVI connection.My cable company is Insight and my set-top box is a Motorola DCT6208.
Is this error message coming from the set-top box or the tv?
It is an HDCP issue you guys have. I just sold a Client a Very Nice Optoma RD50 and Comcast came Friday with Brand New Scientific Atlanta 4200HD WITH an DVI out! Cool I said to the client lets use this instead of the Components. Sell him nice expensive DVI cable and hook it up I got the following " The set your are using is incompatible with HDCP please use YrPb blah blah blah...Very very frustrating that these studios are getting there why with this copyright protection BS..Now the only thing that will work on this new set is a non HDCP DVI Device like the V Inc. DVD player which I hear is going HDCP soon so get it now if you sets are non HDCP which chances are they are.
