I have just received my new sky hd box as the other packed up as soon as I connected my hdmi and optical leads! The engineer went through 3 boxes to try and get picture to come up. On my last box, I managed to get the blue screen and also the update screen on the tv (via the receiver). Then the sky box froze up!
I can't get a picture or anything connecting the sky box through the av receiver. When the engineer connected the sky box directly to my tv using the hdmi lead that came with the box, it is working. This means there is no problem with the new sky box and the issue is with the receiver.
The receiver works perfectly when used with my ps3.
I have a 5m qed hdmi and 5m ixos optical lead connected to the yamaha receiver, the ps3 connected to the receiver via monster 2m hdmi, and a qed 3m hdmi lead connected to the tv. Both the 5m leads are placed under the carpet and hidden away (if that makes a difference).
I don't understand why this is happening. I'm quite sure I have connected everything right.
Someone please shed some light. My first home cinema system and it's doing my head in
Thanks in advance
