'High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection' relates to video screens, not broadband.

@Lindsay220521 if the screen you are trying to use displays a message about HDCP it means the system will not stop definitely copying of the material as it doesnt meet the relevant standard which for. UHD is 1.4 for HD and 2.2 for UHD. Any TV under 8 years old should be compatable but computer monitors can be an issue as not all do even if they have a HDMI port. The other cause can be HDMI switches, splitters etc as anything connected to the HDMI port.

HDCP errors are not to do with the broadband connection.
