HDMI uses a copy protection system called HDCP and it just is too protective. Sometimes you find this won't work well with that. It's a shame really since it's not a bad connector system. Lots of good tech in the system but HDCP is tripping it up at times.
It is not the cable 99.99% of the time. CNET writes about that extensively.
Try the usual power off of all the pieces with the HDMI and AC cables out for about 10 minutes to give the HDMI chips a chance to reset.

I'm not new to computers or Audio-Video setups... but HDMI connections seem to be getting the best of me. I have my PS3 Game system, my Desktop Computer... and my 46-in 3D Flat-screen TV all hooked up with HDMI cables for the Audio-Video connections. I love the simplicity..;. The lack of extra cables needed...but here is the problem.
Every one of them... at random times just completely loses the connection for a few seconds, then comes back and after that the blinking gets worse. I disconnect the cables.. reconnect... sometimes a few times before it settles down and I'm OK for sometimes days before the cycle starts again!
I know HDMI is relatively new tech... but for the cost of the cables and added cost of machines with the HDMI outputs... it seems that there might be a design flaw... the cables... the connections... or both.
Does anyone know any information regarding this problem? Buying 'More expensive' cables does not seem to solve this and it happens 'across the board' with several different brands of TV, Desktops and Laptops... so that might indicate a problem with the HDMI connection design itself. I've never had this random 'loos-of-signal' using the old two-cable PC/audio line hookups... maybe I am spoiled. Any thoughts?
Thank any of you for any input.
