LG 42LB1DRA and AppleTV doesn't work due to HDCP

I have an LG 421DRA since some years that works great. I just purchased and Apple TV and connected via the HDMI port. When I try to see movies in Netflix, it comes with the topic that HDCP is not supported, although all the reviews I have seen from this TV point that it is indeed supported. Any ideas? Do I need to call a technician to have a firmware update?

This is more probably a software fault within the TV. They need instructions for HDMI inputs & a no sound is a related fault. I would get in touch with your dealer to arrange the TV to be updated to cure this problem. Hope this helps.

How do you get HDMI out to tv, through a graphics card? Is Is it HDMI direct out of the card or DVI adaptor? I believe you will get a ping even if the volume is turned down and when playing a movie you would have volume control throuh the DVD player, the computer and the tv. Make sure your volume is turned up on dvd player and right click on your speaker icon in taskbar, at lower right of screen and make sure that volume is up. When you do the ping are you checking a "HD" audio driver. Look in 'device manager" in "sound audio and game controllers" and right click on "HD" devices and make sure they are enabled. Let me know what happens. When you look at devices in device manager you also may see a warning. If so click on the symbol, ? ,!, or triangle and follow proceedure.

Invalid format means that the signal coming from the Apple tv is in a format your tv can't support - there is nothing you can do in the tv to fix that: the tv searches thru all the formats it can display automatically, if it can't recognize it it gives that message. You will have to connect the Apple TV to the tv set using the analogue connectors - the round, colored RCA ones - they send an signal that is recognized by all tv's.
If your unit is the newer model, without the RCA ones, then you must change the resolution: from the manual
1 Press and hold both MENU and + on the Apple Remote for about 6 seconds.
2 Press + or - on the Apple Remote to cycle through the display resolutions.
3 When Apple TV reaches an acceptable display resolution and "If you can see the Apple
logo, select OK" appears on your TV screen, press PLAY.

Just for clarification and to remove it from the unawnsered list: Problem is solved by restarting.

How do I get HDMI cables to sync or talk to each other. We had this problem when we hooked up an Apple TV box to a Denon AVR-E400 and our Sony HD TV. We were told to disconnect all HDMI cables unplug

Personally I would use an RCA cable and hook up the AVR.
((RCA out of TV to AVR audio in))
((cable box HDMI cable output to TV HDMI Input1))
(As far as the AppleTv I would use a separate HDMI Input2)
If your AVR has a dvd or blue ray player Hook up a
HDMI cable out to another Input HDMI3 of the TV
using separate inputs on the tv will allow your surround system to be
used on all modes(CABLE,DVD/BLUERAY,APPLETV)

HDCP is causing the trouble You experience. Try using other video input connection for same set. If it works fine that way, the problem is that the rights protection (HDCP) is acting as "police" to prevent copying or reproduce unauthorized content. If only the HDMI is connected (disconnect all other inputs/outputs) on some sets, could be work fine.

Emerson lc320em2 how do we hook it up to netflix

The Emerson LC320EM2 is not a Smart TV. To display Netflix content, you can connect the TV to your computer via the VGA port on the TV. Then use the TV as your monitor; this may not work with HDCP content. To do this, turn off both the TV and the computer before connecting the devices. Then turn on the TV and set it to the VGA input (PC) before turning on the computer. (Note: you may have to enable the port in the BIOS on some laptops.) If your computer doesn't have a VGA port, try a DVI to VGA adapter. (This may not work with some video cards that only have digital signal output. Look at the port and make sure that the cable/adapter doesn't have more pins than the port.)

Alternatively, get a set top box with Netflix support. (Some Blu-ray players, the Roku box, Apple TV, or the WD Live Hub all have internet connection options and support Netflix. All will support a wired ethernet connection; some models will require a dongle to connect to a wifi network.)

Once you have the set top box, connect the TV to the box via a HDMI cable (purchased separately for most units). Connect to your internet connection and then log into Netflix, These steps will depend on the unit; please add a comment with your source of the Netflix content.

I hope this helps.

(I have an LG Smart TV; it is slow to find the wireless network when started. So expect some wait time before you can sign into Netflix.)

Hello, I recently hooked my Xbox 360 up to my surround sound system using a digital optical cable ran from the xbox to the TV (optical cable from 360 to sound system) Sound and video works great for...

HDCP is the "handshake" protocol used by the Xbox to communicate via HDMI to your TV. The optical cable wouldn't have anything to do with this error. So far the only solution that's been found to this issue is to ensure that the HDMI cable is properly plugged in and power off/on both devices and see if the handshake is restored. If this doesn't work you may need a new HDMI cable.

Hdcp error mesage when connected to my freeview hd box.

What is a HDCP error? Here is a real life situation that happened that could happen to you. You just bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and connected it to your older HDTV with a HDMI cable. When you tried playing a Blu-ray disc a HDCP error was shown on the screen. The movie wouldn't play.
This is a known issue with HDCP, and it's one of the biggest hassles consumers will have to deal with when utilizing a HDMI cable on their HDTV. You will get a HDCP error if you try watching HDCP encoded content when using a HDMI cable.
The problem is that if HDCP exists anywhere in the video stream then all devices and cables accessing this content must be HDCP compliant. If one device or cable isn't HDCP compliant then you get a HDCP error.
The only solution is to either replace the HDMI cable with a non-digital cable or replace the HDCP-less device. This could mean buying a new HDTV. In fact, I worked with a reader last year troubleshooting a HDCP error on his TV. What happened is that he bought a Blu-ray Disc Player and connected everything properly only to get a HDCP error. After a few emails back and forth we discovered that his HDTV wasn't HDCP compatible, which is why he got the HDCP error.
The reader ended up buying a newer HDTV with HDCP, and his Blu-ray Disc Player worked perfectly with HDMI cables.

LG 42lb1dr remote control quit working. Changed

The Main Boards in these sets have caused remote control issues and could also cause the Reserved indicator to light. You will need the Model number, and the extension letters and numbers to the right of the Model Number to order the board. I would also have the Serial Number just in case it is also required.
Hope this helps,
