ERROR:
Display driver error – the video playback device does not support playback of protected content.
ISSUE:
Media Center with a CableCard tuner doesn't work at all on DisplayPort, because DisplayPort is not detected as HDCP compliant by Media Center. CableLabs Certifited DisplayPort as HDCP compliant but Media Center still hasn't been updated and it still thinks that it's not compliant.
REQUEST:
Requesting Microsoft to produce a patch so that DisplayPort is detected as HDCP compliant by Media Center.

I have the W10 Tech Preview. they don't have Media Center in there yet. Once they do, I'll (1) try it out and (2) send feedback if necesary
You can use the add features in Control Panel to add it (along with your key). It will then deactivate windows. But at least you can leave feedback.

I've heard rumors it won't be included. There will be a separate WMC edition if it comes to Windows 10 at all.
You can make an all-in-one win10 install cd and it has a version with wmc.
Others have already enabled wmc from the store, but I think you need the pro version installed, which means you need to make the AIO install cd.
The one at Microsoft is the basic edition.
From what I've been hearing, most of the preview is win8.1 still. So I'm sure they'll need to modify media center for win10 still. Hopefully to allow HDCP support for media center finally.
I need it badly as I'm ordering the Asus RoG monitor that has G-Sync and it only works with display port. There are no other plugs at all. Just one single ****.
Anyone know where to report this HDCP for WMC request? Maybe we can start a campaign early so it gets included.
Or if anyone has WMC already installed and verify if it's currently implemented.

Everyone should install the W10 preview and send feedback on this issue. This is probably the only time they would look at allocating resources to fix this issue.
