I've gotten nothing from an actual Roku support person on this.  Seems like this has been going on for quite a while with the thread starting last year and no actual solution yet.

Re: Are you seeing HDCP errors on Roku Express 4K+ device?

Well, other streaming players work, and the Roku doesn't.  That doesn't mean the problem is with the port.  I've exchanged 3 Roku players.  All had the same issue.  I have two other non-Roku players that don't have the problem.  They're all 4k Dolby compatible.  All have the same HDCP protection.  So, either a massive number of Roku's have a port problem, or they have another problem.  I sent in a couple of screenshots with the error message.  The first was ignored, but the second one prompted a reply that my device was defective, and they sent a replacement.  The replacement still produces the message, but instead of multiple times daily, it only comes once every 3-4 weeks.  I watch a Fire Cube in the mornings and the Roku in the evenings.  The Cube has never had a problem, and both are wired exactly the same way with the same kind of UHD cables.  The streaming stick had the problem for a day, but has not had a recurrence.  I watch the Cube in the morning because some stuff is easier to find, and it provides some closed captioning that Roku doesn't.  I read somewhere a software update is anticipated, which will fix the problem.  Based on my experience, I think they have both software and hardware problems.  If not, the replacement device would behave as poorly as the previous ones.

Spirit river, try this as I had the same problem. I had to disable the “power saver” and it worked like a charm !

auto power savings.
1. Press Home A on your Roku remote
2. Scroll and select Settings
3. Select System
4. Select Power
5. Select Auto power savings
6. Uncheck the box next to After 20
minutes of no interaction

Re: Are you seeing HDCP errors on Roku Express 4K+ device?

That was one of the first things I did.  It wasn't helpful.  Factory reset caused it to happen more frequently.  What I find really interesting is that it's only happened when non-HDCP programming was on, like pre-2000 stuff.  Disney is all 4K HD, and it's never happened there.  I suspect the error message is like a "check engine" light, the result of any number of things, and virtually none of them involving HDMI cables.  

The message is only appearing every few weeks now, so it's not bothering me too much.  My question is, how can it be CP'ing the HD if it only activates every few weeks when non-HD content is playing?
