Cablevision Intermittent Video Issue via HDMI - Blu-ray Forum

Pfish68 · 08-26-2009, 07:13 PM

I had the exact same issue about 6months back, was right around the time that IO came out with there automatic upscaling meaning if a channel was aviable in hd the box would show it in hd didnt have to be on specific hd channel. After swapping 4 diffrent HDMI cables of various brands monster momo price and one that came with my direct tv setup i contacted cable they said to try running it directly to the tv which i did still had issue. They sent out two techs one of which the descibed as a master tech, after 4 hours and 3 different boxes the issue still persisted, there final answer was and i quote "cablevision boxes are not compatible with hdmi cables" they hooked up the compenent cables and left. needless to say I am now a happy customer of FIOS

ha.. excellent!! I'm now a Directv customer!! They told my cousin that same thing that their boxes weren't compatible with HDMI. THEN WHAT'S THE POINT OF HAVING THAT CONNECTION? lol.. I went over and fixed it for him.

I'm considering trying FiOS, I just hate that I can't add an external hard drive to the FiOS boxes. Plus, the Home Media DVR won't stream HD to other rooms (pointless feature w/o HD IMO).

i have the home media DVR and i can watch anything that i record hd or not as long as it is an hd tv that i am watching it on i love it and would recommend them highly over cabelvison

what about an external hard drive for additional storage with FiOS?
