Either your signal provider or the station on which the show is running does not have the contractual right to broadcast the show in HD. Funny thing, that even though households with HD receivers is a (growing) minority, they are demographically more desireable to advertisers and the content producers charge higher fees for the HD feed. It is almost absolutely not a technical issue. I can give you an example, while not totally on point- TNT airs the series "The Closer" weekly. TNT is one of the cable stations that does not have feeds for separate time zones. There is just one feed. So, this show airs simultaneously in all times zones at 9pm EST, which is 6pm on the West Coast. It airs on both regular TNT and TNTHD. later that same evening, the show repeats at 9pm PDT on their standard definition channel, but does not air on the HD channel, but is rather replaced by a different show. I made inquiry about this and was told that the rates TNT charges for the HD feed cannot be supported by the smaller audience that would watch it at the later time. Make sense? crazy?


The four networks (ABC CBS, FOX and NBC) broadcast in three time zones and working on a mountain time zone feed.
ABC only broadcast to the affiliates in HD or upconverted HD to the affiliates. The satellite provider is only getting an HD feed from the ABC sourse, I'm assuming it's KABC in LA.

Ok, there is something called HDCP that allows broadcasters to turn programing on or off or control how the content is to be used. By chance, are you watching this through a DVR? If so, R U recording it?
It sounds to me like you are going through a switcher or a surround sound receiver using HDMI that does not support HDCP and it is not allowing the signal to pass.

If any of the above configurations sound like your config, try to eliminate the everything and go straight from the receiver to the hdmi of the monitor.

Hope that helps
