I have the original beta program installed on my pc. I have never had a problem watching DVR content. I got a new HD TV and for the first time tried to get the program to play on the tv (ANOTHER tv BESIDES WHERE THE DVR IS CONNECTED.

This is the message I get:

The video content stopped playing because your monitor or driver does not support the playback of the protected content, or the status of your display device changed. Try updating your driver or reselect the video content.


Does this mean you are prohibited from watching this on another TV in your house or is there a setting I must change. I am not a PC guru so I don't have much computer knowledge. Anyone that can help?

So you connected your computer to the other TV?

How are you connecting the computer to the TV?

Most likely you are running into HDCP problems which is a digital protection system between your video card and the TV. Many more standard and/or older Video cards will not support HDCP up until very recently. Even then many still do not support it and will cause DirecTV2PC to fail.
