We are actively working with STB makers and cable companies to resolve HDMI related interoperability issues, and have had some significant success (we believe that we have identified fixes for many of the STB models currently on the market). However, we continue to see posts about cable & satellite set top boxes that have issues when using HDMI (such as not supporting an AV receiver, picture blanks out periodically, no audio, etc). In many cases, the interoperability problem can be fixed by a simple firmware fix (a number of service providers distributed this fix this spring, as part of their efforts to accommodate the shift in daylight savings time (from April to March). We would like to analyze any currently outstanding problems, and determine, among other things, those cable and satellite systems where this fix has not been distributed. So, we'd like to ask that the community post data that we can use to track this issue and to identify where we may have work left to do.
If you have a cable or satellite set top box where HDMI does not currently function properly, please post the following information to this thread:
- Make/model of all devices in the chain (ex. STB, AV receiver, TV)
- Name of the cable/satellite provider
- Firmware revision on the set top box
- Your geographic region (i.e. your city & state)
- Description of the issue, any information of specific symptoms & behavior
