I tried the output cable on both A and B and neither give me power. There have been times in the past where I would get a less than acceptable picture on the ChannelPlus channels and I wold unplug the 5545 for a minute or so, plug it back in and all would be okay again. That didn't work this time.
Speaking of the A and B connections, can you answer this one for me? There is a port on the 8200 labeled for "Antenna/Cable." That is where my cable from the antenna is supposed to go. However, when I connect my antenna there, the picture quality is pretty bad. So I have my antenna gong to A and the 5545 power cable going to B.
At one point I did get the power light on the 8200 to come on from the 5545 power cable, but then as I was moving cables around trying to get things to work, it never came back on again until I used the power pack right at the unit. I don't think it was my imagination, but it sure seemed like the brightness of the power light was brighter with the direct connection to the power supply than it was when the 5545 powered it up.
