Sounds like that's the cable box. My bf's box goes out all the time. The cable company should swap it out free of charge.

The problem probably isn't with the T V. I would ask for a replacement for the HD cable box. If you have cable, they will most likely charge you for the switch, Dish does not. I like the T V, but the sound quality sucks. I could add a inexpensive sound bar, but I only use it for awhile, at night, as a bedroom set. Good luck.

Could be the cable, or the connection between the cable and the set or cable box also. I'd try giggling the cable first and next replacing the HDMI cable or swapping to a composite cable bundle.

i am using a samsung HD cable box from time warner and it is working fine - not sure about other models that they may have.

unsure but issue sounds like a problem with your cable provider if its only affecting certain channels.

are you sure that the cable box is HD? kinda sounds like it is SD? the other thing to remember is that not all stations are being broadcast in HD and even then some local channels might not be broadcasting certain shows in HD. for example, my local stations might broadcast a golf game that is in HD, but the local news is broadcast in SD.As for the tv itself, i'm not sure. I'm waiting to get my 4053 delivered and i'm having a hard time waiting! you might want to check your connections again though.

Dear Mary O.. One more thing I forgot to mention, if your cable box is connected via an HDMI cable make sure you pick HDMI for an input, not CABLE as these are two different connectors..

Tom, Like you, have a Samsung HD cable box from TW. Connected HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma. Problem I am having is when changing HD channels picture is scrambling for about 5-10 secs before coming in. Analog stations change without a problem, just in HD. I switched out the box twice, same problem. Had a techinician come over, he switched out the box again, same problem. Put the component connection and works fine. Tells me it's the monitor. Pioneer says that's ridiculous, it's the cable box. I have been reading numerous threads about this problem. It's the TW cable box, it does not have the proper software to support HDMI. You have to call TW up and complain and see if they will fix the problem. R

Have not had that issue. I have an issue with a 3D TV where the HDMI handshake on the TV end is problematic. It's mainly an annoyance as I can either delay turning on the cable box until the TV is fully up or just turn the cable box off and back on. Other than that it works fine. I would suggest trying another HDMI input device if you can for a test to eliminate any issues with your current device and try a different cable for the input. If you have more than one output device connected start with just a single output device until you have it working solidly. Also make sure that the power adapter if firmly plugged in. If the power LED also comes and goes then it might be power related. If you have another power adapter with the same plug size and polarity you might try that just to eliminate any power issues. The vendor was very responsive (as was Amazon's tech support) with troubleshooting my HDMI handshake issue so try them too.

Same thing happened to me. It actually took out my DirecTV signal and had to restore the link between the unit and the TV. One one peripheral device ended up working, so I sent it back to Amazon. Refund processed quickly.

I seem to remember there being an adjustment for syncing.. The thing worked very well for me hooking up a base model comcast cable box. At one point I had an out of sync problem, but rebooting this box fixed it.. Never had it happen since.

My Only Experience Is With Dish Network Satellite Box. I Have Sent A Solid HDMI Signal To 4 TVs Out Of One Dish receiver. One 60 Feet.

I kind of thought that that was the situation. I just got a new HDTV and am a little worried, that in a few days I will be loosing two of my channels (CBS, NBC). My hope is that what I have heard is true, that they will be boosting the signals when they no longer need to carry the analog channels. I have been waiting to purchase a new antenna untill after the conversion.

Sounds to me like you have a weak signal coming into your home. Get a cable technician out to your place with his meter. A weak signal is most likely the problem. Shouldn't cost you nothing.

Not problem at all just make sure cable is inserted all the way or try other cable or outlet to discard options

Bob: Check with your cable or sat box company. Generally not good for boxes (electronics below 40*F. TV's same way. I ran tie in to sat feed off one of the coax's. Check on google search for more answers.

I know my cable box sometimes takes a long time to boot and get the channel guide if I leave it off for an extended period of time. Perhaps the satellite box could be the same.I've never put a meter on mine to see how much it draws constantly though to know if shutting it off every time versus leaving it on constantly is beneficial.

I have an HD cable box and notice no difference when changing channels between HD and regular stations. I hopes that answers your question.

Yes, you can use the same cables and the signal will run along the same route as your cable did, so if your cable was used for more than 1 TV, same will happen. You need to change the hookup location on your tv and may need a different connector.
