Hi,

Components is the better solution in these cases. May I inquire about the make and model of the TV ?

Some "lesser known" brands do have issues due to not following the exact HDMI specifications.

Thanks, have a great day !

Hey there, 

Component with audio cables would work with Optik TV connection and HD feed compatible as well. However, for HDMI connections, you can try this to fix the error you're getting: 
1. Turn Optik TV box off
2. Turn TV off
3. Turn Optik TV box on
4. Turn TV on

BEST WAY TO GET AROUND HDCP ERROR 

1. FACTORY RESET YOU TV, it will force it to forget the software error, if you do not know the code to have the TV to make a factory reset then unplug it from the electricity for at least 12 minutes, in that matter all of the energy save on the transformers and capacitors it has inside of it will drop all the electricity that they hold making the TV to bounce back to its factory defaults, all of the custom settings will be lost, but most likely you will have no more HDCP error on your screen after putting the power back.

(Really important that you do not handle the HDMI cord with the equipment turned on, it might get damaged as it handles power, like a fire wire or a thunder bolt cords on a computer) 

2. Change the HDMI cord, not all of them have the same voltage specifications, so compatibility will change depending on the equipment you have connected to them.

3.Change HDMI connection for COMPONENT, even thought might not sound as the best solution since you will need to have an optical connection available for the audio if you want to keep your 5.1 surround sound, COMPONENT don't transfer the HDCP error since even thought they handle the same amount of pixels for the HD connection, they do not have the same software sent through either on the output of the digital box or the input of the TV, so no HDCP error with this type of connection 

For over 2 years working with customers with this error, the first solution has always worked. give it a try, and if it doesnt work, try the other two options

Thanks for replying. After two days and rebooting the modem, then resetting it. Powering telus box on and off about six times. The tv is now functioning.

Extremely frustrating, I love Telus but its not really working for me......

[Navion]

Yeah, no. How could it have been working for literally YEARS then just stop? This is some kind of firmware bug. I also notice that audio will suddenly POP and drop down until is gradually rises to the previous volume, kind of like a limiter such as a Level Devil or something similar. That bug's been going around for a couple of months now. On multiple TVs in different rooms, and I've noticed it at other clients locations as well. 

[Nuts]

So how can this 'suddenly' become a problem when it's ran for nearly 18months perfectly fine? Have Telus made a config change so that these cables now have issues? How does one now 'change cables and will Telus supply them? Something is up because it can't suddenly happen. 😡 Please advise

[Puckster]

I have the same issue that recurs randomly. I have a Samsung Ks8000 set and yes, brand new full spec HDMI cables. I just restart the PVR and this fixes the issue. Telus technical support told me it was a known issue. Hopefully they will fix this annoying issue with future firmware updates.

[noneofyourBS]

I had the same problem, kepting getting worst. I called telus, they told me "we do not support the use of HDMI cables, and I need to use those video/audio cables"....

[Curds]

Yup - had same problem. After unplugging Telus set top box and powering up again after a minute, it was fixed

[kikithecafekief101]

when will telus ever get 4k or just the standard 1080p compatible set top boxes to work? 2040 say?? lol

i have the same problem with hdcp, you still haven't answered my question, i just the forum on my laptop, so just going to bring it up again! i got the error two times too within 6 month one in my room with hdmi and one with the pvr (HDMI)

[Nighthawk]

This has been answered a few times on the forums. Twice in 6 months? That's it?

It's a communication failure between the box and the TV. It'll be localized to the box/TV only. The black screen is the end result as HDCP is for content protection and part of HDMI. HDCP is a security feature of HD video. There is no fix for it. It is how HDCP was designed.

I have the same problem with hdcp, I cannot watch the programme record in the PVR cable box, I have turn the cable box off for 5 times and then it work, but can only watch one record, after that have same problem again. It has been happened for a week. My Sony TV has the error message cannot support HDCP code H001, also has the message that cannot access to the applicator. I thought it can be solved after updated the sorftware of my sony TV, unfortunately, it is not, so frustrated! 

[Nighthawk]

Is it just one recorded program or all? Does live TV have any issues with HDCP?

Cannot access the applicator? (application?) What's the exact wording of that error message. It's going to be separate from HDCP.

So turns out their boxes aren't compatible with the HDMI cords. Call telus & they will send you out the right cables for as many tvs as you are having problems with. I am not sure why this would be,,,seems like someone messed up when they were installing all this fiber optics & their pvr boxes & receivers by not installing them all with the correct cables when they come to our homes 😞

[Nighthawk]

My box works perfectly fine with HDMI. As did my old PVR. There are countless others using HDMI without issues as well. The HDCP error isn't necessarily the box itself but a communication failure between the box and the TV. It could be triggered by either device.

Also, fiber optics have no connection in any way to an HDCP error. They are two very different things. One is hardware, the other is software.

[sadee]

 I was told by Telus it was the box itself not working properly with the HDMI cables. They sent us out 3 of the proper cords for all 3 tvs/boxes & now not one tv has this error anymore.  It took 2 days & the cables were in my mail box. 

[MegTV]

Unplugged HDMI and plugged in again to rid HDCP H1001 error

[loopsdude]

What type of cords is Telus sending??  My 4K PVR doesn't have component outputs.
