Just bought an LG 55LH90 which is the newest LED LCD. I have Timewarner cable & a Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. I attempted to connect the DVR & TV with an HDMI cable but I continually received an error that the "content could not be displayed" or something very similar. Station information is displayed in the menu bar but no picture or sound. The LG is supposed to be HDCP compliant. So I am cinfused as to why I can not use an HDMI cable. Component works great. What am I not understanding? I though I somewhat understood issues with HDCP but I must not. Just bought an LG 55LH90 which is the newest LED LCD.

In the instructions, it says that in order to receive regular TV stations in surround sound, I have to run my home theater system through my VCR. Why the hell would they make a sophisticated piece of equipment that has to run through a "dinosaur" VCR in order for it to work. Would be great if my VCR had a digital tuner in it, but unfortunately it does not. Any idea how to hook it up without the VCR and be able to get Monday Night Football in surround sound.

It has component input only. It has DVD inputs for fl, fr, c, sl, sr all labelled as DVD input. It has CD input with two component cable input and Aux input with two component cable input. The system sounds great. However, I have purchased a new Panasonic HDTV with 2 component cable output to home theatre. This will connect to the AUX input for the home theatre. However, will it provide the surround sound I am looking for? The TV has HDMI input and output. My HD DVD is HDMI connected input to the TV but does not have 6 component output to the Home theatre. Is there a HDMI to 6 component cable that I can use from the HD TV to the input in the Home Theatre (or another solution)? I have a Genesis Media Labs Model G-610 Powered Home Theater.
