I have a Samsung 630 LCD television with a connection problem. The main feed is Cox Cable through a HD/DVR box connected to “component 1” using five coax cables and a dvd/vhs player connected to "aux 1” using three cables, which works fine.

The Cox guy said that I should hook it up with the HDMI for better quality, but that’s where the hookup problem occurs. When I hook anything to HDMI-1 and then go to the television’s input selection, HDMI-1 is missing from the list of selections. Unkook it from HDMI-1 and hook it into HDMI-2, and HDMI-1 is back in the list of selections, but HDMI-2 has disappeared.

This is not that big a deal, since I’m not upset with the quality of the picture I’m getting with the five cables, but I thought I’d see if you folks could shed any light.
