I have a problem with the HDMI hookup. The sound on the DVR recording are not good. Sometimes there is no sound and I have to rewind and then go forward. Sometimes when I am watching live TV the same problem happens. What is causing this?
I've come across issues in the past where low quality hdmi cables can cause issues like this. When they were upgraded, the problem was resolved. With having you switching the cables, I wanted to make sure that the audio and video output of the dvr was functioning correctly, which it seems to be. I don't think that you have a problem with either the TV or the DVR. There is a term known as the "HDMI handshake" between 2 components that are connected. Where the DVR isn't even aware that their is a problem with either intermittent audio or video to the TV. It's just that communication via the hdmi cable causes the TV to keep trying to interface with the DVR if it "senses" any inadequacies in data transfer from the DVR. I am not sure what quality hdmi cables you are utilizing, but a higher quality pair will hopefully suffice to resolve the issue. Just a suggestion.. Try finding cables online, such as ebay. You will get a much better deal on them. I hope this information is of some help, despite sordid rambling..lol. If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me. I would be more than happy to assist you in any way possible. Good luck!

Yes I did try the component cables and the problem pretty much did go away. Does that mean it is an HDMI connection problem? Is the problem with the TV or the DVR cable box?
Have you tried using component cables to see if the issue goes away? If it doesn't resolve the problem, it may be the DVR.
