Another HDMI problem and Question...PLEASE

[vismich]

I mentioned in another thread that I'm not crazy about the way my High Def looks with an HDMI cable. I think it looks better w/ a component cable..

Regardless...The bigger issue is that when I first go to watch TV with HDMI, there is NO SOUND.

I have to hold the power buttin down for 5 seconds and reboot the box to get sound.

Suggestions?

Haven't bothered to test it at all on my system, and most likely will not. But I've read elsewhere that Dish doesn't formally support audio via the HDMI interface. Don't know if that is true. But I've read other reports of people having problems.

What you can do is to also run an RCA audio cable between the 211/622's L/R audio outputs to your TV's audio inputs.

Many of us run the digital optical output to an A/V receiver and don't use their TV's speakers.
