I would like to know if I can use a custom firmware to disable HDCP on the HDMI output, I know you can disable it for SD content even on stock firmware but I would really like to disable it altogether. There is a story behind this.
The story, ill try and keep it concise:
FOXSAT HDR 500GB - > HDMI - > Sony STR-DH520 - > HDMI - > Philips BDL5531EL
XBOX One - > HDMI - > Sony STR-DH520 - > HDMI - > Philips BDL5531EL
Been working fine for years but last week when watching Freesat the display would freeze on the current frame and the audio would carry on fine from the AMP. When watching plex via the xbox it would work fine for a while but then it would part freeze.
FOXSAT HDR 500GB - > HDMI - > Sony STR-DH520 - > HDMItoDVICable - > Philips BDL5531EL
XBOX One - > HDMI - > Sony STR-DH520 - > HDMItoDVICable - > Philips BDL5531EL
The xbox will work fine all day long no issues at all but the Freesat box is not working via DVI, I get a message generated from the TV along the lines of incorrect setting or format or something like that.

FOXSAT HDR 500GB - > HDMItoDVICable - > Some other PC monitor
Wasent able to connect to sat cables where is was buy played recordings back for hours on end without issue.
XBOX One - > HDMItoDVICable - > Philips BDL5531EL

Freezing issues.
As you can see the combinations I have tried suggest I have more than one problem and its a nightmare to diagnose as the problem only seems to present itsself after a number of hours suggesting heat buildup.
Because the xbox one will work fine through the Sony AMP using the TVs DVI port I have ruled out a problem with the AMP.
When I do involve the AMP in one of the problematic setups the problem is exaggerated. For example I get a no signal error from the TV intermittently before any eventual freezing. This has caused me to suspect the chain of HDCP handshakes falling over.
I have tried a few HDMI cables
I have reset all configuration on the TV.
I have reset, formatted and also tried Raydon's firmware on the Foxsat.
I considered getting a HDCP stripping HDMI splitter but I suspect the device would still need to handshake with the FOXSAT before stripping it.
I'm really stuck for cash right now otherwise I would invest in a new TV but even then I don't know know if that is gonna fix the problem. I would like to hope the silly handshake problem I have seen described online has cooked the chip inside the TV responsible for handshaking on the HDMI port specifically and that disabling HDCP will somehow get the Foxsat box working on the TVs DVI port.
Sorry its so long...
