For the uninformed, HDCP 2.2 is a copy protection feature that will block a video if it believes that you are trying to record it.

We recommend looking at the settings menu of your TV or monitor to find if it supports version 2.2 of HDCP. You may also be able to find the copy protection information in the user manual and/or official website of the manufacturer of the screen.

• Wait for at least 10 minutes.
• You then need to re-connected the HDMI cable to your Roku Ultra, screen and other the other device.

• Test to see if you are able to watch a video without the HDCP Error Detected message showing up.

3. If the aforementioned fix did not resolve the problem, then you can try connecting the 2022 Roku Ultra to a different HDMI port if your screen has multiple inputs.

4. Your AV system, sound bar and/or HDMI splitter may not support HDCP 2.2. In this case, we recommend that you connect the media player directly to your TV or monitor.

6. If possible, you can also try connecting the 2022 Roku Ultra to a different TV or monitor to see you are able to view videos without any problems.

7. Moreover, you can try changing the display type. In order to do so with the 2022 version of the Roku Ultra, you can take the following steps:
