Hi all,
A couple of days ago I tried to watch Bone Tomahawk via Amazon, using the TiVo Amazon app (Prime subscription). I noticed it was playing in Low Def. Thinking that was because it was being made available through Prime, I purchased the Hi Def version only to find that it also played in Low Def. I then switched to my MacBook Pro and brought up Safari, logged into Amazon, and tried to play Bone Tomahawk that way. Low Def. And I noticed that the "HD" icon on the control bar gave me a popup message saying something along the lines of "This is playing in low def because you have a non-compliant display".
I had no idea what that meant, but some research showed that it meant something in my setup was not HDCP compliant. Upon more research, that something is the heart of my media room, a Yamaha RX-A1040.
Not wanting to scrap an almost new 1040, I looked into ways to "bypass" HDCP. That led me to purchasing a cheap 1x2 HDMI splitter, which I installed last night.
After rebooting the MacBook, it will play the Hi Def version of Bone Tomahawk, although the HD icon still displays the same "non compliant display" message.
However, the TiVo Amazon app still plays the Low Def version, even after a cold boot of the Roamio.
Anyone have any ideas on how I might get the Roamio Amazon app to play in Hi Def?
Thanks,
Chris
