Losing Cable Channels and Playready after restarts

#1

Post by BruinBro » Thu Oct 05, 2017 5:57 am

I've been having a problem after restarts...every time I restart the computer I lose access to the cable channels, getting a copy protected message instead... It also prompts me to update PlayReady after every restart too, which then restores the access to the cable channels. Is there something I can do to prevent losing access after every restart and having to update PlayReady every time too?

Thanks

Check Device Manager for hardware that has an incomplete installation. Usually there will be a ? or an ! Also in Device Manager "Scan for New Hardware"

Incorrect BIOS settings can screw PlayReady as well.

If your PC boots up and shows you the wrong time, there is a good possibility your motherboard battery is worn out. This can screw PlayReady too.
