I purchased a sony kds-50a2000, about 2weeks ago. Have and it set up with componet wires since i got it. Friday nite I was at BJ's picked up a hdmi wire it was only $22 so I figured I would give it a try. For some reason now sometimes when I change the channel from a HD channel to a SD channel all I get is colored snow. The only way to reset it is to turn the tv or the cable box off. If I switch to the componet input it show the picture normal. Is it something with the box or something with the tv??
 
i think i read in the manual that you have to go through the hd set-up again with the hdmi cable plugged in. OR maybe its the tv rejecting the "cheap" cable and maybe require a high end cable; or its bad cable.

going thru the setting its set to hdmi/dvi. it doesnt happen all the time. They are belkin cables so I dont think it the cable.
 
i have the same tv and also experiencing problems with the hdmi hookup. i have a sa 8300hd aNd whenever i go from 720 to anything (meaning to 480i or 1080i )i get alot of flashing lines or pictures distortion before it changes resolution. also sometimes if i start a recording the pic will flicker continously until i restart playback. this is the second box i have tried. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED
 
I posted this in the tv & projector forum as well, Gregg Lowen said to set the signal to fixed, so that it is not changing the format. since I have done this I havent had any problems
