I just recently upgraded a number of components in my Home Theater and my setup now includes:
Samsung LN52A850 LCD TV
Samsung BDP-1500 Blu-Ray player
HD Tivo
AppleTV
Sony STG-820 receiver
I have all components connected to Sony receiver with HDMI cables and a single HDMI cable running to the Samsung TV. I ordered cables from Monoprice, but have not received them yet, so I hooked everything up with inexpensive RCA HDMI cables I got at Lowes.
While watching the Tivo HD I intermittently get driop out of audio and video for a second or so about once an hour or so, on HD content.
While watching a Blu-Ray movie last night the video and audio dropped out twice. It was a rental from Blockbuster so it could be a scratched or dirty disk in this case.
Any thoughts on the cause here? I never had drop out with direct connection of the HD Tivo and a Sony XBR3 I have, and when directly connected to the Samsung for a couple of days I did not have this issue.
My thoughts are:
1) Cheap HDMI cables causing issues.
2. Sony STG-820 has issues.
Any help narrowing this down would be appreciated.
