Whenever I tried this, HDCP or similar DRM kicked in and the video was blacked out. How did you get around it?

You need something else than the Netflix App or Edge.

Other apps/browsers are limited to 720P and don't use hardware-level Content Decryption Modules

I've never encountered this at all! Honestly I've never in my life had any problems with HDCP, guess I'm just lucky, I constantly hear about it being problematic.

You are probably not using Edge or the Netflix App. (1080P+)
