HD Netflix streaming just dropped on the Xbox 360 and while the reviews have so far been stellar, a little issue just appeared in the form of copy protection. It seems in order to stream the HD videos, the Xbox 360 must be connected to a HDCP-compatible display, therefore alienating most owners using DVI-equipped screens. The situation doesn’t come as much as a surprise though now that consumers have instant access to high-quality videos via a very hackable device like the Xbox 360. It just would have been nice of Netflix to give a little heads up.

So does this mean you have to have HDMI connection?
No, you either have to be using an analog connection or if you are using HDMI, the tv has to be HDCP compatible.
My LCD TV is HDCP compatible but I am still getting the error saying HDCP lost while trying to view Netflix movies. It was working fine for awhile but now it is saying it every time. I don’t understand. Any suggestions?
