Trouble with HDCP protection

Hi all, I previously had this setup:

Dell 30" 3008WFP via DP
2x 27" via DVI-D

And it all worked fine at the max res at 60hrz and I could play HDCP content no problems.

Now I have:

Phillips 40" via DP
Dell 30" via DVI-D
DGM 27" via DVI-D

And now all of a sudden I can't play my amazon prime video in HD - saying I dont have HDCP compliant screens :rolleyes:

Right this second im only running the philips and dell monitor as bizarelly the DVI-D cable I used on the no longer used 27" screen won't work properly on the dell - gets garbled interlaced screen & the ONLY DVI-D cable that will work is the one that used to be in the DGM monitor..................

I have ordered a new DVI-D cable to come tomorrow for the currently unused DGM screen.......but I am assuming the Dell on the DVI-D cable isn't HDCP compliant :rolleyes:

I am using 2x r290x graphics cards in crossfire - so the ONLY available outputs I have are:

DP
2x DVI-D
HDMI

I am aware I could disable crossfire and use 2 DP's out from them but obviously I dont want to do that.

I also tried using the HDMI out to the DELL, but it wouldnt work above 1920x1080.

I then tried DVI-D out to monitor HDMI, no go, then tried hdmi out to DVI-D on the monitor again only 1920x1080 :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

SO - ANY IDEAS ANYONE ? doing me nut in.
 
DVI<>HDMI adapters will usually break HDCP support btw. HDMI is pretty much a dead end for >1920x support anyhow - you need a fully working 1.3 setup for (60+Hz) 2560x type resolutions and 2.0 for 4K and neither is very well supported 2.0 even less so.
