Pioneer tv guide not updating
Starting with updates 51.1.6.1/54.1.2.1, if connected to a non-HDCP display, during bootup of the Fire TV you will see the white Amazon logo followed by the colorfull Fire TV logo as expected, then it immediatly goes to a blank black screen.The change to immediately-on HDCP encryption is causing issues with select televisions and A/V receivers. The TV will be used for watching movies in a controlled environment, directly in front, in a home theater way.
One is inconvenient, while the other requires spending money to fix a problem that shouldn’t be there in the first place.
If you’re experiencing this blank screen issue, you should absolutely contact Amazon and let them know in hopes that a future software update fixes the issue.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection, more commonly known as HDCP, is a form of copy protection that Fire TVs and most HDMI devices use to prevent nefarious individuals from making digital copies of protected content.
The Fire TV and Fire TV Stick will check that your television is an authorized HDCP compliant device before sending the video signal over the HDMI cable.
An HDMI splitter is meant to turn one HDMI signal into two.
