Why does it connect to the tv with co-ax cable rather than HDMI? I would expect a clearer picture with an HDMI connection.

Antennas do not connect via HDMI. The antenna is picking up an analog multi-channel RF signal and the best choice of cable to carry that signal is coax. All antennas require a device that can receive the analog signal and turn that into a digital HDTV signal. Most current TV's or DVRs (such as TiVo) have this receiver built in. HDMI is used for connecting digital sources to each other.

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

The analog Co-axil port on my TV is not broken...the TV works just fine. I currently have an antenna and just need to boost the signal. The signal boost I purchased does not work, but is receiving power from the outlet, but the booster itself does not work. I know this because I tested the power cord send with the amplifier with a mutlimeter. I would prefer to have another amplifier sent, not an antenna and I do not want to convert to HDMI because my TV has no available HDMI ports left.

HDMI cable will give you a better picture, but the cable that came with it will work.

What kind of cable? A cable tv box should have output connections. I would suggest using HDMI to get the best picture.

I prefer to hook my critical video equipment, especially reference equipment, directly to my monitor. You can use the ARC HDMI to get TV sound out of the Receiver. there 'has' to be 'some' information lost in the translation, imo.

Thanks for your reply. It happens to us when we go from non HD to HD and from HD to HD. Very annoying. We've dropped back to using the component cables, but I sure would like to use the HDMI. I was hesitant about complaining to Samsung, since our cable is so sketchy, but now I think I will.

I had it connected via an hdmi cable and . Think you have the red yellow white connection option too just check the picture of the back of this product to identify what suits your cable

The cable is hd but this is a component cable is not hdmi...similar to the red yellow white components. Some tv's are high def and need the blue green red connection.

okay, I'm not tech savvy, but it connects with a red, yellow and white cable connection to my Direct TV Box. Hope this helps.

Try a vga to hdmi adapter and hook it up to your TV. Hdmi is more reliable and compatible with modern TVs. While vga is great, it will actually look better with this adapter.

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

No--and when I tried hooking it up to my tv with the cable and the adapter I needed (to fit the particular port on my tv) I get a message that says I can't use it---have not yet worked out what is happening there, but have been using it with the included av cables just fine. I'll do that until I figure out what the problem is with hdmi on this television set....but at least you can get up and running until you get an hdmi cable.

See response from jlukeraid. Just know that this is not a standard HDMI to HDMI cable.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

It likely has nothing to do with the receiver. You may need to go to the cable/satellite receiver settings and change it to HDMI output.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. Is it just not working with the TV that you have? Is it hooked up correctly (HDMI is the best way to use it)? What brand of TV are you trying to use?My TV that I use is a Vizio 32-inch 3D TV, and it works perfectly fine. So what is the exact problem that you're having?
