I have a Sony KD-34XS955 television with a SA 8300HD box. I am trying to use Pacific HDMI cables. When I hook them up, it will only display a picture if the box is set it 480p. If I set it to 1080i and go to a HD channel, the screen goes blank. I also get a few sparkles when watching a channel through 480p. I have set the box to 480i and the same thing happens. My box uses the Passport firmware. Box has been replaced. Time Warner is stumped on this one. There is no (Pass-Thru) mode on this box. Can someone please help.

The SA 8300 is not yet enabled to pass video via the digital ports (DVI or HDMI). It should be enabled by a firmware download from your cable company as soon as it is available. Time Warner just has to contact Scientific Atlanta to confirm this is the case.
