I have the Bravia 32" (D series I think??) anyway, no problems with the HDMI (on AV4) though I had to make sure the box was broacasting on the HDMI cable..

Only annoying point... Virgin volume control doesn't work on the HDMI

Can't you set the remote so it controls your tv volume instead?

I can report this, which may or may not be useful:

My Sony Bravia, which I've had for about three years, only displays the message "Does not support HDCP" when my cable remote accidentally turns on only one of its 2 targets --- the TV or the cable box.

In order to get things back to normal (HD working perfectly), I have to shut off the target that is on all by itself. Then, once I manage to turn on the TV and cable box simultaneously, all's well.

But here's the thing: I have no idea what that message means. In all its glory, I get it on two lines like this:

"Does not support HDCP

Please use yPrPb component connection to watch TV."

Any explanation or elucidation will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks. ---Mort

to the Forums!

YPbPr is a method of splitting an analogue video signal into 3 components. It can use various connector types.

I have a new (6 month old) Sony Bravia, picks up HDMi connection with no problems from V+ box, plus the VM remote works the volume & mute straight out of the box, with no codes added.. etc..

Hi,
I have an issue with hdmi and my new sony bravia kdl46s4100 tv set. Every time that I turn my tv on, I have to go into the remote under "input" and change it from hdmi1 to any other input device, ie hdmi2, video1, video2, component1, etc., then back to hdmi1 in order to get a picture. Otherwise I get nothing but a blank screen and "hdmi1" displayed at the top left. Once I do that the picture and recetion is fine until I turn off the tv, in which case I have to repeat the above procedure to be able to get a reception again. I wonder if ayone else has had this problem? I have a Sony technician coming out in a couple of days, hopefully to resolve the problem. At first when I called Sony tech support, they thought that that they could resolve the problem by having me download a "patch", but then then person from sony said that they didn't have the solution on line and they would have to send someone out. I just don'tknow why if the repairman is going to do nothign more than download a patch itno the usb port of my tv, why don't they have it online so I can do it myself and not have to wait? Go figure......
