Well there is no north american version of the mibox, the north american version is just the international version with a north american power adapter. I think it's batch specific (since HDCP issues are reported on both WM units and CN imported international units), because these issues always manifest themselves with older displays I suspect HDCP 1.x key might be missing from these mibox units (or it's just an iffy implementation of backward compatibility with HDCP 1.x displays).WhoCanDeal wrote: ↑ So any idea why one box with work without issue and the other does not? The North American one doesn’t work but the international one does. I’ve read perhaps a factory reset may fix this but I haven’t really wanted to try this only to have it not work. It must be a hardware issue with the box?
Factory resets (or even a simple power down then a power up in a different order) might "temporarily" fix the issue, but everyone reports it will just come back within few days (sometimes few hours), your options for a permanent fix are:
- get the HDCP converter to get the problematic display out of the loop.
- upgrade the display to one with HDCP 2.2 support (all 4K displays at least have one HDCP 2.2 input port).
- get a cheapo amazon fire stick to cater for your 1080p Netflix needs.
