I have a JVC rear projection tv that I bought second hand a little over a
year ago. It works fine except for the HDMI input. When I plug it into
my cable box and switch to the digital input, it can't detect anything
(and says it's gonna turn off in 9 minutes if nothing is connected before
then
). However, if I plug in my computer via a dvi/hdmi cable, the tv
still
doesn't detect a connection, but the computer recognizes the tv for the
model number that it is. There is no setting in the tv that can affect
the input, from what I can find (and I went over all the menus multiple
times).

Any ideas on what might be causing this? If it's an electrical problem,
is it worth my time to get an electronic technician to fix it?

Does the output of the cable box match the resolution capabilities of the
tv? If the box is set to 1080p and the tv won't do over 1080i then it may
give you these symptoms. This is probably not the case but was worth
mentioning.



No stupid. If that was the case then the T.V. would say "Incompatible Input
Signal" or some **** like that.
