I recently hooked up a HDTV cable box to my sony wega tv.It is connected
via components on video 4.I get a great picture through the coaxial
connection but when I switch the tv to video4 for HDTV I get what looks like
a scrambled picture.Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

On my Sony Wega TV, of the 7 possible connections, three can be used for
HDTV: a DVI HDTV in (Video 7), and two component inputs (Video 5 & 6). The
others have S-video and RCA video inputs. I run component cables from my
HDTV box into Video 5, which I have re-labeled "Cable Box". When I choose
the Video 5/Cable Box input using the TV/Video button, I get the HDTV
picture from the box.

If your cable box is de-scrambling the signal as it should and outputting
it, unscrambled, to the component outputs, as it should, then you should see
the HDTV picture unscrambled on your set. Are you sure the component cables
are hooked up correctly? If so, then, if I were you, I would call the cable
company for support on this one. They can probably find the problem for you
pretty quickly.
