How long is the HDMI cable?

 

Does the projector support HDCP?

 

Tried changing the video output on the mini?  1080i etc.

It's 2meters  long I have just watched a video on TikTok and it says to connect the sky box back to my tomb and change the setting in the mini box

Magcubic?

 

Without wishing to sound like a tech snob, sub-£50 pricing and an absence of meaningful technical specification probably isn't ideal in a projector manufacturer.

The spec doesn't list HDCP.  A quick google seems to indicate this could well be the issue.

Extremely contradictory spec too: 720p, Full HD and UHD on the same page, but as standalone items.  4K claims seem dubious.

Page I found stating it will downscale 4K input.  Great for compatibility, quality probably not so hot.

Also not a trivial computing task for what's presumably an extremely budget SoC.
