This isn't directly related to an issue with a mythtv system, but I<br>
figured this is a good place to ask.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering if people have experienced any issues with HDMI cables<br>
"going bad." I had an A/V receiver repaired under warranty ..<br>
supposedly. The issue was the HDMI relay stopped working. When I got<br>
the receiver home from the repair shop and hooked it up, I had the<br>
exact same issue. No change. Called the shop, they said the HDMI<br>
cables frequently go bad. I tested these cables with known to be<br>
working devices and have had no issues with them. I think this guy<br>
maybe has a very small degree of truth in his statement, but it<br>
overselling the issue. Anyone have issues with HDMI cables,<br>
specifically the connectors "warping" or the "pins not lining up?"<br>
<br>
Incidentally the repair shop is:<br>
<br>
Just Service<br>
<a href="http://www.justservice.com" target="_blank">www.justservice.com</a><br>
<br>

<br>
In case anyone has experience with them. They appear to be the only<br>
Onkyo authorized warranty repair shop in Chicago.<br>
<br>
Apologies if this post is better placed in a different forum.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

p.s. I do use MythTV, btw. Just waiting for a good VDPAU card deal<br>
to come my way.<br>
