I have the exact same problem although the startup screen appears on one of my TV:s via HDMI. Then it turns blank. On my projector nothing comes up at all. Have tried everything. Can't understand how WD can come up with such a resilient problem...

Hi guys,

I am having the same problem. The hdmi worked perfect until yesterday, starting today is down. I have a Samsung LCD full HD. The latest firmware on the wdlive. tried a coupls of cables and different solutions (e.g. reset and so on...).

This is my 2nd wdlive, the 1st one returned to factory a couple of weeks ago (stopped working after 6 months). I am really pissed off and I think I will go and ask for my money back

[bathgate]

can this be solved through product update? should I reintall the software? Any ideas are more than welcomed, I do not want to give back the product...

Have you tried putting a cheap HDMI switch box between your TV and the WDTV HD? You can pick them up for a few pounds - probably cheaper than a lot of HDMI cables. These boxes do isolate the input HDMIs from the output, so may solve your problems.

Oh, cr*p...

I bought it last week in US and I came back to Brazil, where I live.

I have a Scartlet LG 32" and since I tried to use HDMI never worked.

It's funny because when you are by component cable and you plug a hdmi cable angdswitch your tv to hdmi source, comes the message "No Signal", but you go back to component source you can see that the WD TV Live had previously auto configured it to HDMI output, then automatically returns to component output. Because that, I understand the hdmi port on the device is working to send a HDMI signal to the tv; but the image is not coming... =/

I updated to the last fw version, released in oct/10, but got no results.

I was considering to send it back to the store or WD warranty, but now (after reading your comments) I'm starting to think that will be just waste of time.

What do you guys think? Should I send it back to US or just wait hoping the WD will release a new fw version to fix it?

cheers

It worked for me after cutting few mm of the rubble molding of the HDMI wire. Since i bought 3 in $5 it was easy to try this out.

Just one more thing...

we are talking about the WDTV Live, right? mine is wdbaan0000nbk.

I'm asking this because I read a lot about cut the rubber of hdmi cable and agparekh  said it worked for him...

but i want to know if his is same of mine...

Thanks

Try to reduce the color depth from 12 bit to 8 bit.

Hi

I have tried literallly all the suggestions posted on this forum for my problem and still no success. Recently I bought a AV Receiver and thought this might act as a repeater for HDMI and could fix my issue, but the same problem here. This box dont want to work with HDMI at all. I am just frustrated now as I am keeping up with all the updates withuot any solution.

Cheers

Hi!

Same problem here. 

First time, the problem happened on the 3rd day of usage on my  Panasonic 37" LED Full HD. As I lost image thru HDMI port, I went to my parents home and tried both TV's (Samsumg 32 Full HD and Sony HD), none of them worked via HDMI but worked fne with other outputs (even in 1080i at 60 Hz), so I came back home and tried that at hoem, which worked fne also. I returned first equipment and got a newer one (used my warranty). Had exactly the same problem and went to technical service and the diagnostic was "problem with HDMI output, so it should be exchanged for a newer one". All was normal till somebody said "hey,,that's second time in a month this client has the same problem...now they are saying they have no stock to return it and that's too weird it has happened twice"..

I still have 2 months guarantee left, but I'm sure when I get the second replacement, I'll have the problem again and they won't allowed me mre retuns.

Any from WD can say something about thi problem ? 

THanks and greetings from Chile !
