why not use HDMI ARC?
your amplifier dont have HDCP stripper(99% sure)
or it is broken.

first let me explain what HDCP is lah.
HDCP is something that locks HD content.
simple enough
and because there is nothing to unlock it (HDCP Stripper)
u will see Copy Protection failed
When you plug into your tv it will show hd content because your tv have built in HDCP stripper.
you may ask why your tv cannot strip it when connected to avr , because your amp just output its raw signal without the hdcp "code"was not sent to your tv.(not a very good explanation .)
Option 1: live without hd channels
option 2:hdmi arc setup(if your tv supports only)
option 3:digital coaxial cable to your avr(if your tv doesnt support ARC)
option 4:assteruk beyond to hdcp stripper to hdmi splitter which outputs to the tv and avr)
option 5:optical cable from yr tv to avr(might not support dts and dolby digital from yr BD Player or Assteruk Byond)
for me because i do not have a HD Avr im using option 3 for bd player and assteruk byond pvr ,option 5 for tv

did your amp work with hd channels before?if it did , i think the HDCP stripper broke .or u can play around the settings.
i do not recommend using option 4 because it will be messy like crap.
just call the person where you bought the avr from

i bet you're using the media player to play play pirated movies right.Pirated movies(obvsly not hd)aren't HDCP protected.
But your Assteruk Byond content is. so what i suspect your AVR does not have HDCP stripper
Did it CLEARLY states that it does?

ARC is quite simple to setup actually, but also depends on your TV and AVR supports it or not

If both supports, try this setup: (HDMI 1 is H1, HDMI2 is H2, and so on)

1. Find out which HDMI port on your TV has the ARC, usually it will be labeled there
2. Assume H2 is the ARC port
3. Connect your Astro to H1 (non ARC)
4. Connect your AVR's out to H2 (ARC port)
5. Switch on both, now you should be able to get the Astro audio from your AVR

for HDMI Stripper, I've bought the following item... but it's not here yet... so I cannot tell you if it is working or not...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/300938129341

there are many China made HDMI splitter which strips HDCP signal so you probably can look around at aliexpress.com so it all depends on your luck to get HDMI splitter with HDCP stripped on output signal...

Want a high quality HDCP stripper?

HDFury 4 (Google) is a good one with hacked software... but prepare to spend RM1500 for it

You can use this as reference as well:

well if you want to solve quick and easy, plug hdmi cable straight to your tv
digital coaxial from assteruk and media player(why do you need this when you have smart tv?!!)to optical input of avr

just want to ask a quick question..

my grandparents are still using the old astro silver box decoder..in the recent Astro bill, they sent a leaflet saying my grandparents can switch to the new byond decoder FOC..

my question is, is it really free? will they need to pay the extra RM20 per month for Byond? If they dont need to add another RM20, then they will change..if not, my grandparents will go on with the old decoder..

so is it free switching?
