Here is my situation...
I have had Directv for years. I have 2 HD DVR's, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. They are both somewhat newer boxes (HR-22 and an HR-23).
Everything has worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. All of a sudden, my living room TV screen turns green when I change channels. The audio stays fine but the screen only shows green. I can still see the images clearly, they are just all green, as if someone is holding a green piece of tint over it.
My TV is a Toshiba DLP. It's about 8 years old and seems to be running just fine. I don't have any problems with it except for this green screen thing. I am running an HDMI connection from the D* box to the TV.
When the screen turns green, I can fix it by either doing a red button reset or changing the input on my TV from the HDMI input to another input, and then back to the HDMI one. Obviously this fix is annoying every time I change channels.
I do not have any issues when using my PS3 on the same TV. And both D* boxes do not have this problem in the bedroom hooked up to a newer LCD screen.
At first, I thought maybe I had a bad cable. So I did a few cable swaps. No dice.
Then I figured it must be the D* box. I've already had one crap out on me and had to swap it out. So I swapped the living room box with the bedroom box. Again, no dice, still green screen whenever I change channels.
In other words, as far as I can tell, all of my equipment is just fine on its own. But all of a sudden i'm having a compatibility issue with Directv and my TV.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
