What brand of TV do you own? What do you have connected to your TV?

Bailey05 · 05-05-2008, 07:37 PM

tv is philips and i have a sky hd box connected and a ps3

you should try an HDMI-DVI cable...adapters can cause issues.

Also the TV must be HDCP compliant...what is the model number?

Bailey05 · 05-05-2008, 10:54 PM

not sure what the model number is but i know the TV is HDCP compliant because its been fine until today and i have had the tv for over a year and had no problem with the picture till now

if its been fine for a while and suddenly stops working, it could be either a cable or an adapter issue. My guess would be the adapter.

I would buy the HDMI-DVI cable from monoprice.com, but if you just want to get a cable asap...go to Target.
