Trying to hook up my HD TV with HD cable box. Used HDMI cable and picture appears but colors are hazy and picture fuzzy. What am I doing wrong or could it be the TV?
 
Solution
If you are not subscribed to HD you will not get HD by hooking up HD devices and cables.

Try setting up for SD (standard definition). If that works then your equipment is probably okay.

If SD does not work then you need to narrow the problem down the the TV, the cable box, or the cable. Swap the cables, the TV, and the cable box if you happen to have a second one in use.
