Handshake errors cannot tell if its soundbar related
Hi there, I have a Samsung Soundbar, LG TV, and a new Roku Premium that I've just set up at my Grandmother's. She finally has internet, and I was excited to get her streaming! Unfortunately, it has been a headache. Part of that is LG TV. Part of that was Roku....
We keep getting the HDCP error. We've exchanged HDMI cables, unplugged everything, plugged it back in. No dice. Has anyone solved for this? How do I know if it's the soundbar, or what? Is there a setting anywhere I can do to help the "handshake?" This is CRAZY that it has been this difficult. I think I am going to return and just do Amazon firestick?
Anyone had any luck with this issue?
