Help: HDMI cable problems and watching Netflix on MiBox

by oroboros74

I've had problems watching some Netflix content (some, not all), and Netflix support said the problem might be the HDMI cable.

First of all, can someone explain this to me?

Second, if it is a problem with the HDMI cable, should I be looking for a certain type of replacement cable?

EDIT: Netflix Error tvq-pb-101 is what I'm talking about, related to HDCP content.

Pick any High-speed HDMI cable, if you have a 4K TV. Else any hdmi cable should work. If you are in the US. monoprice is good reliable store, pick the cheapest. They have lifetime warranty on there cables. If ever your cable is worn out, you can get it replaced. Do you keep moving your box around or do you have pet, curious how did the cable get worn out. I have HDMI cables which are 12 years old, still working.

What sort of problems are you having?

With the cable I think you'd get picture errors or black screen.

That sounds more like an issue with their service or your internet.

Are you using the cable that came with the mibox?
