I'm unable to get a picture or sound when hooking up my Philips 42PF9996 LCD flat panel to my DISH network 942 HD receiver/DVR. Everythings works using component cable connections. I tried using a different HDMI cable, but still nothing. Neither DISH or Philips techs were of any help.
How much of a difference will HDMI make? I'm not sure how hard to push this with DISH & Philips. I'm running everything else through a Yamaha RSV1500 receiver, but that does not have an HDMI connection.
I'm posting this on both the Plasma & LCD forum & the satellite forum.

I received a call from DISH tech service last night, in response to an email
message I sent to DISH. According to him, the problem lies with the DISH 942
PVR. It's a software issue that they don't yet have corrected, & aren't sure
when they will get it corrected. I don't know if it's specific to
connections with just my Philips LCD or not, but suspect it's a broader
issue, as they don't plan to connect users when it's corrected as there are
too many of us. He suggested just checking back in a month or so.
The component connections from my 942 thru my Yamaha AV receiver to my TV
work just fine. According to the tech any improvement w/ the HDMI cable may
not even be discernable; it's mainly just reducing the number of cables from
4 or 5 to 1.

I am successfully using the HDMI output from my 942. I am running thru a Gefen HDMI switch into a Panasonic th42px50u.
