Green screen

**gcotterl** · 12-21-2009 02:15 PM

I have a DishNetwork VIP-622 satellite receiver connected, via an HDMI cable, to my HDTV. I also have a DVD player connected, via a component (RYG) cable with separate audio-cables, to my HDTV.

Originally, the HDTV displayed both the satellite and the DVD images perfectly.

After I "neatened-up" the cables, the HDTV still displays the DVD image perfectly. But, for the satellite, the screen is a "Kermit-the-Frog" green. What is causing this?

I would usually say its the component cable sounds like the green is the only one plugged in

Hook up the 622 via component connection and if it comes back up then you have a broken HDMI connector. If that is true then I hope you have the ext HDD hooked up to transfer shows over to it. It time to trade out the unit for another. Huge amonts of 622's had thins problem, I had one and got it traded out.

Hi Hyperguy,

If only the green component cable is plugged in, would this result in an entirely green screen or a green-tinted image?

Yep because only the green colors would come through. The component cables are the same as your primary colors and if Red and yellow are not there it only leaves green

Component is Red, Blue,Green. Composite is Red, White, Yellow. Make sure that you have the correct cable plugged into the correct places on both the Receiver and the TV.... For HD you should be Red,Blue, green.

Some of you (whatchel1 being the exception) are ignoring he's got the satellite connected via HDMI and getting the green screen. Troubleshooting steps:

1) Plug the HDMI into a different input on the TV (and select that input). Does that fix it?
2) Try a different HDMI cable
3) Use component (red, green, blue + red/white audio) cables between the sat box & the TV.

The problem (as you described it) is either at the TV's input, the cable itself, or the output of the sat box. Also make sure the connectors are solid and that the sat box & DVD are going into different inputs on the TV.

Sometimes when I switch sources on my TV, the DVR comes back as green. Two solutions; cycle the power on the TV (probably won't help you). or unplug and reinsert the HDMI cable (I use the same port, I only have two ports

).

I love to know what channel.

FOX, either watching it live or from recording it, has been giving me audio stuttering problems for 2 months now and either a green or yellow screen pops in and out for 5-15 seconds . . . I have complained, but alas, no help yet

Originally, the HDMI cable ran from the HDMI outlet on the sat. to HDMI 1 on the TV and the all-green screen was displayed.
I then re-connected the HDMI cable to HDMI 2 on the TV and the all-green screen was displayed.

The component cable runs from the component-cable outputs on the DVD to the component-cable inputs on the TV. (These are NOT the TV's HDMI 1 or the HDMI 2 inputs). The DVD movies display perfectly on the TV.
