Latest from Vemeo who appears to be handling Criterion Channel:
The reason you’re having trouble right now is because Criterion is using DRM (Digital Rights Management) and HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) in order to comply with the technical requirements, anti-piracy provisions, and territorial restrictions of their agreements with major studios and independent rights holders around the world. These technologies help prevent unauthorized playback and copying, but unfortunately they aren’t compatible with all viewing setups. It sounds like your current setup is running into an incompatibility issue.
When the Channel officially launches on April 8th, apps for Roku, Apple TV, Android TV, and Amazon Fire should provide you with more options to watch on a television set or home theater. Until then, the pre-launch Movie of the Week is only supported in a web browser on a computer, tablet or phone. I’m very sorry that this is limiting your options for viewing right now.
