Re: Apple TV , HDMI and lack of digital sound
Yes, gotta get me some optical cable to check it out... still HDMI should work. Its getting tiring running into all these little "oopsies" just about in every Apple product line these days... not enough to make me give up but enough to annoy.

Just wondering. some folks reported issues with PS3's but that seemed to have been a while ago.... like I said Apple acknowledges the HDMI port has issues with Samsungs no real complaints from Sharp users found. My PS3 works find with the TV same HDMI ports.

Warner Robins, GA | Gotcha. I was just seeing if maybe there was something weird with the HDMI on those TVs.
You aren't running your AppleTV through a receive I am guessing? |

| the idea was to run all HDMI through the TV and via single digital out on TV get to the receiver. Worked very well with old TV.. a little disappointed about this issue.

Run everything through the receiver and then single output to TV. |

Hmm...come to think, my LG has some issues 'seeing' the HDMI signal at first. I haven't tried different cables (because the bastards are expensive!), but I'd always assumed it was a cable problem before it was a TV/Apple TV issue. (Mind you, I bought the expensive gold/silver HDMI cable...) So, who knows! I find it appalling that there would be any issues with a connection standard that's supposed to be vastly superior to the old RCA cables. |

Sure do - my Onkyo does full 1080p upconversion from any source (granted I only have a 720p TV). |
