Another Shaw pvr problem...
I use a Motorola 6416 connected to a Denon 2310CI receiver using the HDMI port. With increasing frequency, my audio would stop, sometimes preceeded by a screen flicker (common Shaw issue) and sometimes not. The audio wouldn't come back unless I did a momentary rewind/play on the PVR or switched channels. It would even occur while playing back recorded material. I tried disconnecting my external hard drive, switching HDMI ports on the receiver, swapping cables, reseating cables, getting a download from Shaw,finally tried bypassing the HDMI port on the receiver and just going straight to my Aquos (using a fibre optic cable on the receiver for sound). The problem persisted.
Finally I removed the HDMI cables and connected my old component video cables (one set from the pvr to the receiver, another from the receiver to the TV, using fibre for audio. This seems to have fixed the problem.
Anyone else with similiar issues? My Blu-Ray is connected using HDMI to the same receiver, with no audio problems at all. Is it a bandwidth issue with Shaw? HDMI handshake problem? I am hoping someone more versed in the technology can help me. Hope this isn't a fata. Thanks.
