Hdmi Dropout!

[tezam]

We purchased a Samsung LN-T4665F LCD HiDef TV online from Circuit City this past April and have been having periodic sudden loss of HDMI sound or video (or both). This dropout has not been weather related and occurs randomly about once a week. Switching to other audio/video connections (e.g., Component or S-video) work fine...it’s just the HDMI connection from the satellite receiver to the TV. We bought a second HDMI cable, but the problem still exists. Apparently, we have a defective Samsung HDMI circuit. I’m confused as to who is to fix this HDMI compatibility problem, Samsung or DISH?

It could very well be your receiver. I had the same problem and it turned out to be my receiver. I had two replacement receiver's and it still did not fix the problem. So I stopped using the HDMI and switched to component instead, everything works great now. I don't see any difference in the picture when using Component Video.

I called Samsung and it's my understanding is that they have a circuit board fix to stop the HDMI dropout problem. Can anyone confirm that this fix worked for them...?!
