hdmi connection problems

[RalphM]

I cannot seem to connect my comcast dtv/dvr box to my samsung 71" dlp tv, either directly from hdmi out on the comcast box to the hdmi in on the tv---nor using the rx v2600 as intermediary, again using only hdmi inputs and outputs. Is it just me or is there an issue with HDCP errors that is preventing these hdmi connections from communicating with each other. Is there any work around or upcoming fix for this, other than going backwards in technology and using only the component inputs/outputs for video, and digital audio inputs/outputs for the audio? Thanks in advance for any info.

this issue is all over the place Even Sound & Vision had a blurb on this in last issue.
Call the cable company and make sure that the digital box is activated to pass signals through the HDMI cable, insist on it.

You may need to power down and back up as that may also activate and accept that HDCP codes.

I assume power down means unplug everything, but what exactly do you mean by "back up"? thanks for the earlier reply--just getting around to reading it since my mom was very ill and has just passed away.

OK, there has been more on this since my reply. Keep your TV on, everything connected. Power off the cable TV box for several minutes. I think there is a button on the cable box remote perhaps enter since I don't use them, press it while off, then power it back up. This should get you into the cable box setup. There you would have to activate it to deliver the output you are after.
Get back to us after this experiment. You may also want to call the cable TV company? Are you supposedly getting digital signal service?
