I connected my STB and DVD player to my AV receiver through component video and I have an HDMI connection from the AV receiver to the LCD TV. I get sound but no picture. Is there anything to do with HDMI besides just plugging everything in?

Does your AV receiver handle video A/D conversion or is it just a switch? You are inputting analog (component) and asking it to output digital (HDMI).

I believe it does, it is the Rotel 1057

According to this review (http://www.guidetohometheater.com/avreceivers/506rotel1057/), the receiver does not convert other video sources to HDMI.

Thank you for the link, it taught me a few things. So component in = component out and HDMI in = HDMI out. It looks like I will have to switch inputs in 2 places (TV and AV), not what I expected :(
