Samsung NP700G7C-S01us display not fully HDCP compliant?

I posted a question about not being able to view my premium cable TV channels that are copy protected in the other NP700G7C-S01US forum but that thread is so long I guess it is not getting much notice.
I have a HDHomerun Prime 3 tuner cable TV box connected to Time Warner Cable and use it to watch all my subscribed cable channels. But when I configured and tried usining the Windows Media Center "Live TV" on this Samsung NP700G7C-S01US laptop it could not display the copy protected (HDCP) cable TV channels. It would only show the non-protected channels. What gives here? I thought this cutting edge high end expensive model laptop was supposed to be fully HDCP compliant. I am assuming that since it comes with a BluRay player that it would be 100% HDCP display compliant. I know that the Nvida GTX-675M video card and drivers are HDCP compliant but what about the Samsung internal display? Anyone had success viewing such cable TV copy protected content on this laptop's internal laptop screen?
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-biot OS and Windows Media Center throws this error message when tuned to a HDCP channel: "The display device does not support copy protected content.".
Did Samsung cripple this laptop?

 

bump.
Is there no one with these Samsung laptops that tried to use it to watch cable TV channels and found out that the internal Samsung display cannot display "copy protected content"? Meaning this screen is HDCP crippled (disabled) by Samsung for viewing such cable TV channels? It will display non-copy protected channels fine. But throws and error when you try to watch a premium content channel (such as HBO, Shotime, CineMax, etc.).
I am trying to determine if it is something peculiar with my system setup that has gone astray or if indeed this Samsung NP700G7C-S01US internal display is banned from showing such content from cable TV. I know it supposed to pass BluRay DVD HDCP content and displays it fine but not the cable TV HDCP content! Why?

 

Again not a specific answer to your question but I think you are blaming the hardware where the software is the issue. HDCP compliance under blueray should also alow under Cable TV but you are using two different apps. MS WMC does not have the codecs for BR playing. This is done here under other software or at minimum an outside codec. WMC is most likely using some other codec and copy protection sofware for TV that is not allowing the display to work for you.

 

Yeah, I am thinking it is something Samsung needs to pay a license fee or something to allow their display screen to display cable TV HDCP content using MS Windows Media Center but Samsung probably did not want to pay for the rights, thus MS banned (disables) this particular laptop's display screen id from showing HDCP content. I know that the WMC codec decodes cable TV HDCP content just fine and works fine with my other laptops internal displays. It's just this Samsung screen it does not like! So I still blame Samsung at this point because I feel and think that they 'cheaped out' on us here by not including (paying for the license rights) this laptop display to work with WMC HDCP content. Either MS or Samsung can fix this. I've written two times already to Samsung support under my registered owner's account at their website and they have not ever replied back to me with an answer. I can't help but feel that they are 'Guilty' as charged right now. They cheaped out on us after we spent almost 2 grand USA dollors on this laptop. I am disappointed that I don't have a full featured capablities laptop now. I hope that one day in the future they will get around to agree to fix this licensing rights issue and enable this laptop's screen for cable TV HDCP content. Or I hope some hacks are made available to get around it.

 

This is an issue with play ready validation over display port. It is a MS problem they have neglected to fix (for years now). You can leave feedback here:
Windows 8 - Media Center DisplayPort HDCP support nonexistent - Microsoft Community

 

My Optimum App, HDCP content for TV, plays fine but within it's app..................

 

I guess this is a streaming app from your cable provider? Those should be ok, along with netflix, blurays. The OP was concerning windows media center and cable card protected content. There is a bug wherein WMC's playready drm scheme does not recognize hdcp compliance over displayport. MS has been aware of this for years now. Very frustrating.

 

Yes, why I said in app as it is streaming to the app not IPTV or Ethernet conversion etc.. I did not know M$ had issues with DP devices, that just stinks. Tbh I am not sure if DP is used by the internal display or not. If so until there is a DP fix the OP is stuck.........

Edit, I do know, at least with the old version of the app, it looks for HDCP compliance as one driver I had on the old system broke compliance and I got an error for it. Returning to WHQL drivers got it back for me...................

Edit 2; Ububntu info

 

Embedded displayport is the standard these days, supplanting lvds. I think intel laptops have been eDP since 1st generation i series.

Unfortunately, I am in the same boat as the OP. It would be great to be able to record shows for the plane or watch a game in the kitchen.
