I’m getting a "HDCP Error Detected" while casting video from Mobil device

I’m watching a movie from my Apple iPad. I try to cast it to my Roku TV, but the option to cast doesn’t show the Roku TV, only my Vizio TV in the next room. So I mirror my Mobil device screen to the Roku TV & after 30 secs I get this error message 

"HDCP Error Detected" 

I’m not using a HDMI cable. In fact, there are no HDMI cables plugged into the TV. Why am I getting this error? How can I fix it?

    Hi LFL03

    Welcome to the Roku Community. 

    Let us help you resolve the error message you are seeing. To clarify, are you casting or screen mirroring your iPad using AirPlay? Have you tried restarting your Roku device and reconnecting the connection from your iPad to the Roku device? Does this issue occur when viewing a specific page (movie/tv show/application) on your iPad? 

    Keep us posted.

      Yes - I’ve tried switching my network settings from my primary network to my secondary network, & I’ve switched them  back. I’ve turned the TV & iPad on & off. The casting seems to work well when watching Amazon Prime videos. But the error occurs when watching Disney+ & Paramount videos. Why should it make a difference what I’m streaming?

        Sorry, I’m mirroring. Unable to see the Roku TV when casting. So I’m mirroring my iPad.
