Does anybody know what this means?

I'm messing around with a 42inch (model Sony PFM-42V1A) which I got from a friend and I get this error. The TV only shows picture for a second or so once I switch the decoder on then the image disappears and I get a black screen while the decoder gives this error.The menus and everything displays properly.

The decoder works as it should when I plug it into my TV.

Thanks
 
Thanks for the advice so far. What I forgot to mention in my initial post was the fact that I'm using an HDMI -> DVI converter as the TV doesn't have and HDMI port. Could this be the problem?
 
I fixed this with the old switch off wait 15 minutes switch on procedure.

Yes thats your problem :-), you need hdmi to hdmi.
 
Well I gave this TV away right after making this post as it had picture display issues anyway.
 
I had the same problem with my LG, if I swapped over from DSTv to my HTPC it would display HDCP 15 (which is actually short for some message written with numbers like HDCP 15 n0T 5UPPORTED) When the TV switches HDMI ports it drops power to that port hence the message.
