HDMI engineers would like you to think that their connector is plug n play. Hardware compatibility and firmware versions are critical to the hand shake. Some setups just don't work well. Sound can be dealt with in other ways, thankfully. The old 4:3 aspect ratio is forced from local digital HD networks during the daytime, but expands to full 16:9 during prime-time HD shows at night. If you know the broadcast should be 16:9 and it isn't, check the output aspect ratio of the cable or sat box menu.
