Well, I'm sad to say, but after about six months of flawless operation, it appears that my HDMI port may have gone bad. I purchased my unit from Robert at VE back in early February '05. It was supposedly one of the good builds with the problem resolved. I have switched to component which seems to be working fine. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I would like to get it fixed, but I don't want to lose my recordings and I really don't want to get someone else's repaired, used equipment. I have not yet contacted Robert (unless he's reading this post!).
For those who are curious, when it happened the picture color was all goofed up and showed a lot of red (something was missing evidently). I played around with reconnecting the HDMI (to DVI) cable and it almost seemed loose. I could never get it to reliably give me a picture--then I couldn't get a picture at all. I would be willing to first try another cable if Robert can provide that, but I don't think that's the issue.
Any advice?
