Just a few things you can check to narrow down your problem.

Have you tried hooking another device that uses HDMI into the same port on the TV to verify that it is the HDMI on the AZbox and not the one on the TV?

Have you tried connecting the AZbox to a different input on the TV or to another TV?

I'm assuming when you say you fixed the av settings that you adjusted for PAL/NTSC, set your resolution accordingly, and selected HDMI as the output.
 
I believe on the samsung 6 series you have to set a profile for each input in the settings menu to use the HDMI input, to digital and PAL. Don't use Secam or NTSC.
From the satellite receiver you only need the HDMI cable all others should be disconnected. On the sat receiver output menu you need to select HDMI 720 or 1080 and PAL
 
On MY Samsung, I had to turn the TV off and back on again, with the HDMI connected, and THEN it recognized it. It might even help to unplug it, as I've run into a couple situations where the Samsung UI gets very sluggish, but if I unplug for a few seconds and reboot it, it is fine.

Pedro,

I was curious if Yansolo's Samsung (series 6) television was configured for PAL, since he states his location as Morocco. When I read his original post, I thought that if the TV was purchased there, rather than in the US, that it would be configured for PAL instead of NTSC.

Were the directions in your reply related to this? I noticed that you mentioned not to use NTSC (or SECAM), but rather to select PAL. Which seems to make sense to me, based upon his location.

Most of us frequently refer to using NTSC as that is what our sets would be configured for if purchased in the U.S. or N.A. in general. We might be misleading some of our members and guests from other parts of the world, simply by generalizing this area of the AZBox (or other STBs) setup.

I don't know what Yansolo's actual trouble is at this point (or what he will determine it to be in the end), but it spurred me to think of this issue right off the top.

There are quite a few Samsung series 6 models and Yansolo I suspect has a PAL or PAL/Secam combo the latter being problematical. France, Algeria and part of Morocco still have some Secam terrestial channels.
If you set the AZbox to NTSC and play thru a PAL set you still get a visually poor black/white lined picture so you would know at least the signal is coming thru. Also if you connect with a scart or composite lead as well as the HDMI it can present video conflict problems. A lot of European satellite receivers now have a slide switch to select the output. Of course it should not matter whether PAL or NTSC if using the HDMI cable but it depends ports are software set in the profile menu.
