Hi, everyone..
I'm new here, so good to meet you all.
Most of the posts I see here regarding HDMI ports failing on the receiver side. I have DirecTV with two of thier 99 HD recievers (Can't seem to locate a model number on the Web this morning, altho I can find lots of images). Anyway,I think i've had this setup about a year, maybe less. I've already had to replace one of the recievers as its power supply folded, but they aren't mine and and Direct dealt with it under warrenty.
What concerns me is that I have two HDTV's (Toshiba and JVC) with HDMI. Not long after i went with DirectTV (I left Comcast after they sold to Time Warner) the HDMI on the Toshiba failed. It's about 4 years old now, so i went component and did not think much about it. The failure was solid- It was like nothing was connected to the HDMI input; black screen. The same DTV box in the living roon worked fine. So the Toshiba's HDMI goes out.
Last night i got home and had similar issues with the Toshiba, (one of thier 56''), just put a lamp in it. Instead of a black screen, I get an attempt to get a picture, which may be nice for a second before the TV tried to resize it, or part of the screen goes dark for a second-In general what looks like noise. Replacing the DTV box and the HDMI cable did not help (I didn't think it would) so my conclusion is another sick HDMI input.
Does anyone knwo what is going on here? I don't know whether to go scream at DirecTV or call it a learning experience, have the TV's repaired, or what. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanx!
Chris

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
