I was finally able to set up and activate my Roku Streaming Stick + but I have to manually use buttons on tv to toggle between outputs as I am still connected to cable until I can figure this out.
Now when I click on anything in Roku I get a “HDCP error has been detected” and nothing I do resolves this. My tv is over 10 years old but I was told as long as I have the HDMI ports I could use the Roku.
Any help would be appreciated
You generally have to switch your TV's input from the one for the cable box to the one that the stick is connected. There's a setting under Settings->System->Control other devices that you can enable if it isn't already that will tell your TV to switch to the Roku's input when you press a button on the remote, but your TV has to support it and I don't know if a TV that old would.
Have your ever been able to watch a video? Your TV has to support HDCP (copy protection). What's the manufacturer and model number of the TV? It should be easy enough to look it up.
