Have you checked the cable if it works with other products for Example a blue ray player ,sometime the wires inside the cable can be pulled away from the end

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Had a similar problem. except only on one local station was really bad. Bottom line, purchased new HDMI cable and problem dissipated to a very acceptable level.

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.

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

Have you tried a different hdmi cable or a different device plugged into the same port. First thing change HDMI cable if problem persists try different device , if problem persists with second device unit is defective. If problem does not persist problem is coming from sony ps3.

I've had a similar issue with my HDMI connection to the Cable Box provided by Time Warner Cable. Were you able to figure out what was wrong?

Thanks for the feedback, just to update the situation I bought a more expensive HDMI cable made by Belden, same problem no signal when using HDMI. I was going to switch the box as well but I guess this is useless. I guess all you can do is complain until verizon fios comes to my area

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

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 would call ATT for help. I had this same issue, purchased a new unit only to have it do the same thing. I found out if had something to do with the new U-Verse system, that affected my system. The ATT lady was a great help and a mater of about 15 min I was up and running. Just wished I had made the call first.Bill

Just saw a youtube video of a guy baking the HDMI board. The commentators claim it works. Not for the faint of heart, though. I have the same issue. Will try with Onkyo first to see if they agree to repair it. If not, I'll bake the board. What's the worse that could happen?

It is working very well with our UVerse service. The unit doesn'treq hire an HDMI cable, just a standard cable tv, coaxial, cable. Make your own installation template though. The holes don't line up.

Isn't it a Bluray player...and I ran 60' of cat5 cable, and it is working fine.I think you may have a bad cable or port.Did you verify the cat5 cable with good a test meter?

Is there any chance that your hdmi connecting point is intermittently loose or not plugged in securely? It's just a cable. If the connection points are secure the problem is probably elsewhere like with whoever is providing service to you... Satelite/cable co signal instability?? Power surge? On the remote chance the cable itself is frayed or broken internally you could buy a second cable. If the problem still shows up it rules out the cable itself but not the signal, connecting points etc.
