Picture too big for tv

I am not sure you can connect your DVD player to your cable box. You should be able to connect both your cable box and DVD player to your TV set with two HDMI cables. This link is a pdf_usecares file of the TV manual that shows how to hook up your dad and cable box.

Please follow guidelines given in operation manuals of both.

You should not lose any picture quality from the DVD player. I am currently having the similar setup with PS3 as the Blu-ray DVD player with HDMI and a Samsung DVD as regular player with component cable to a Samsung LCD TV. Remember the quality on Blu-ray is better than normal DVD so don't expect more than what it is.

I want to know the same thing.

"cable box to tv is hdmi cable"

Everything I've read on the web says cable box to tv connection must also use component (rgb) cables. The error is coming from the cable box (STB). All the Scientific Atlanta (SA) cable boxes seem have this Digital Rights Management (DRM) bug and the only way to be totally rid of the error is to replace the digital connection from box to the TV with an analog connection.

The message is so cryptic...it's right. There is no way to unblock it yourself. This is the box connecting to your cable company's servers and being told that, "no, you are not allowed to access content, disable yourself." It is referred to as "bricking" as the box is now as useful as a brick.

If the box worked previously and all-of-a-sudden this happened, then it could be that there is a typo in your account, and your cable company can correct it quickly. It could also be that your bill is past due and needs to be paid. Generally if it's a past due issue, a payment will reactivate it instantly.

If you are not paying for digital service and you bought this from eBay or got it at a flea market, then you'd need to add service and add the box to your account. The problem is your cable company might not like one box reappearing on another account--it seems stolen. They may just want the box back, and give you another that would work.

You should connect the changer to the tv, not the digital box. It will still get the signal.

make sure that you tv is set to the "standard" format and then try changing the aspect ratio on the cable box.
