Receiver/DVR defective?
I am getting this message quite frequently now. It only happens when I am watching something recorded. None of the controls work when this message appears and I have to reboot the receiver/DVR. Anyone else experienced this?

The problem may not be the cable, but the input logic on the TV.
Don't spend lots of money on a cable thinking all that money means a better cable. Monster brand cables are famous for both their high price and their marginally acceptable quality.

Well HDMI cable replacement didn't work - guess its time to call for a technician (under warranty) to come look at it.

I just got this TV message for a brief moment on my Samsung TV. Before I could react, it was gone.
It's definitely a TV message.

Samsung tech came out today and did a very thorough diagnostic on TV and determined nothing wrong - since the only device I have connected to the TV is the cable/DVR box (which is 8+ yrs old) that seems to be the issue. Will call AT&T tech support and request new box. Will follow-up once that is done.

AT&T sent out a replacement receiver/DVR and I have had no error messages since. Looks like it was the issue all along.
