What does DCP unauthorised content disabled mean?

Just bought a second Roku 3 and it says all is installed but when I watch a Netflix movie, I can hear it but can't see it and I'm getting DCP unauthorized content disabled.

This happens to me often.
ALL I do is unplug the HDMI cable from the ROKU box for 5 seconds, and put it back in. One step.
It works instantly and no confusing directions from ROKU to try with hit and misses.
Maybe this easy fix will also work for others and is worth a try.

Hi! This happens because of the delay of the handshake between the Roku and the TV via HDMI connection. This HDCP Unauthorized Content is a protection for anti-piracy campaign and sometimes, if after you've done all the troubleshooting steps and it will still not solve the issue, this could be an incompatibility between the TV and your Roku.

What you can do at the moment is to unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and the Roku. Once that's done, swap or interchange the ends of the HDMI cable and plug them back to both TV and Roku. Make sure that both the TV and the Roku are unplugged from the power outlet while you're doing the interchanging of the cable's ends. Turn the TV back on first before you turn on the Roku and check if it worked. If it will still do the same thing, try a different TV or you can also try a different HDMI cable. A "faster" HDMI can sometimes help. An HDMI 3 cable which is faster that the generic HDMI cable can help as well.

If you're still having problems, please take note of the model and brand number of your TV and then you can contact Roku support. Just visit their website at www.support.roku.com.

Yes, I believe the Roku and the computer goes through different Netflix server. I suggest that you contact Netflix to verify this information.

Roku displaying HDCP unauthorised. Content disabled. How do you fix this so you can see the picture.

If a purple screen appears on your TV showing "HDCP Unauthorized. Content Disabled", it's usually caused by a loose HDMI connector, or is caused by a problematic HDMI cable.

How do I change Parental Control on ROKU?

Parental control is one of the features available on roku. This feature restricts the children to access the movies and TV shows based on the rating of the movies and TV shows.
Roku doesn't provide any true parent controls. But the parental control workaround is simpler one. Only a few channels on roku have the parent control. Such channels are Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and Redbox.
Initially, you have setup your roku account and add the channels from the channel store by using the PIN.
    1.Sign in to your roku.com/link account.
    2.Click the update button which is next to the PIN reference.
    3.Then choose the choice "A PIN is required when using your Roku account to make the purchase or add any item from the Channel Store."
    4.Put the 4-digit PIN and save the changes. After that, you can watch the channel by installing them from the roku channel store.
    After finishing the watching the channels delete it.
    If you deleting the paid channels means there are no issues because you need not pay again for reinstall. For re-install it you have to sign in again.
    For some channels which have parental control, that doesn't require to delete the channel after watching.
    If you want more information about the roku call 1-844-965-4357 to get instant help.
