Sounds like a common HDMI handshake issue ... either keep the configuration you have now or go HDMI straight to TV w/optical to the AVR.

The only thing I can suggest(by the way, I do Component Video/Tos-link with my HD DVR anyway) is to unplug the TV and HD box for 10-15 minutes, then turn it all back on.
HDMI HDCP causes issues when you introduce "something new"...turning it all off, and unplugging, is sometimes the only way to get HDMI to work.

Thank you.
"common HDMI handshake issue" I'm not familiar with this term and when you say common it would stand to reason that there should be a cure? Would you mind elborating on the term "handshake"?

Just google "HDMI handshake" and you'll get plenty of info as it has been around since HDMI was first introduced years ago ... very common with cable/sat boxes and any brand of AVR because the cable/sat boxes were designed to be connected directly to the TV and not to an AVR, therefore the "cure" is to not connect HDMI to the AVR if a handshake issue exists.

Thanks for the suggestion. I googled it and now I understand. Still seems to me as though this should be curable on the development side? I will request a newer DVR and see what happens unfortunatly DirecTV will not specify what they will send you and I may end up with an old box again.

Assuming you are able to solve your handshake issue, I would be particularly interested in your impressions of the A810. I am considering the 810 and have DirecTv using the HR24-500 HD DVR. Thanks.

I am considering a Yamaha and wonder if others are having problems with DirecTV...which would be a showstopper for our needs.

I use 7 directv hr dvr's. I have successfully connected them all to a denon 4311, yamaha a1000 and onkyo 1007 with hdmi no problem. The directv experts hang out at dbstalk.com. Almost nobody over there is having handshake issues. The dvr is slow yes. The monthly price is high yes. But having to resort to component into receiver or hdmi to tv is an uncommon solution these days. Motorola and sientific atlantic make most cable boxes. They don't make any boxes for directv and that is why directv is doing very well lately. The new yamaha may have a bug but I doubt it. Same hdmi version as last year.

Hello,
I'm considering the Yamaha RX-A810, just because of the double HDMI out. I wonder, should I expect problems connection my Sony beamer (AW-15) and my UPC Cisco media box regarding to the HDMI handshake issues, or is this unpredictable?
I just want to get rid of the cable issues. When connecting all my devices to one receiver, it should be solved, but no I hear about the HDMI handshake. Can you advise?
