High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Types of connections include DisplayPort (DP), Digital Visual Interface (DVI), and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as well as less popular, or now defunct, protocols like Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF) and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
The system is meant to stop HDCP-encrypted content from being played on unauthorized devices or devices which have been modified to copy HDCP content. Before sending data, a transmitting device checks that the receiver is authorized to receive it.

I recently tried to play for the first time a DVD on my Xbox 360 and was greeted by one of the worst miserable human invention: HDCP. Great companies and smart engineers wasted resources on something useless to me as a consumer.
The solution was easy when found. Just buy an HDMI splitter and an additional HDMI cable and you are set.
Now you should be able to play DVDs and Netflix without “Secure HDCP link not found” through.
Some of you might have sound for games but not for DVDs or Netflix. If it is the case, make sure that you go to “Display Settings” and then enable “Display Discovery”. The HDMI splitter also solves that issue.

when i try to use netflix sometimes it gives me this message... sometimes it doesn't. one week i tried to watch a movie and it tells me that, and then the next i can watch that same movie, and in HD? wtf is going on, i'm using HDMI with a somewhat recent model LCD 1080p F-HD tv, and an xbox that is only about a year old.... and it seems nothing on netflix wants to play today. really? nobody knows?

I just had the same issues & it wouldn't correct itself, but I found a solution. If you disconnect everything from its energy source for about 15 min to 20min & then try it again, that should do it. If problem continues then it might be another issue. good luck xbox lovers | |

I have a similar issue.. but after reading all this, it sens to me that is more likely one of those microsoft Solution: wait for microsoft to identify the use.. and download the update when ready. Or you can use the VGA port in the mean time ( PC port ), the HD quality with movies is not much different. PS: It's totally pointess from microsoft to do this.. but is nothing we can do about it (: | |
