You probably can't. Is this a cable company device? A security camera device?
Do you have a model number for this DVR?

Any device wanting to stream Netflix must be authorized by Netflix. So if your DVR has not been designed for streaming (network connectivity, app store, etc), you can't make it.

Apologies for a bit of nepecorino-threading, but this Is directly on subject and the thread isnt too old, so here goes. I found this article:

https://offthebroiler.com/hdcp-stripper/

These products claim to be HDCP strippers and the article is fairly recent. However, I assume I am missing something. I rarely am lucky enough to find a gold mine….. the closest I get is picking my nose. So what do you guys think? Is this stuff of interest or junk? I’ve read that some HDCP strippers have worked in the past but that they stop, probably because the content protection is updated.

Anyway, thanks for your time!
