Previously I used a Sony DC205 DVD recorder / digital tuner on my old Sony trinitron CRT which worked very well on digital channels. However when connected to the new&nbsp; TV I dont get a TV signal from the recorder. (Connected via HDMI), initially just a highly pixilated frozen screen. (I had skiped the tuning of the TV tuner in&nbsp; intial set up because the DC205 one seemed so good, however , I then tuned internal tuner on the new TV and that works with excellent picture, however whenever I switch the input to the HDMI channel, the recorder is on the TV just is blank or flashes "no signal" (and yes the DVD recorder is swiched on), I can view the guide and set recordings.&nbsp; The HDMI connection is OK I think&nbsp; as I have watched old saved content and recorded new programmes and watched them with excellent picture.&nbsp; So, The problem is that the DC205 cant ever be on even if Im watching Digital on the TV tuner, as I get no TV picture as soon as it is comes on.&nbsp; This is a real issue because if a timer recording swiches in I lose all TV and cant even watch the channel that is recording (which I used to do).&nbsp; This is very dissaponting as otherwise the picture quality and TV performance are excellent.&nbsp; I would have thought the output from the 205 should be watchable. Any ideas??</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 27 Mar 2011 07:10:58 GMT BroughPA 2011-03-27T07:10:58Z Connecting Sony DVD/HDD recorder/tuner to a Sony TV/tuner https://community.sony.ie/t5/home-cinema-projectors-players/connecting-sony-dvd-hdd-recorder-tuner-to-a-sony-tv-tuner/m-p/208640#M5281 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P> I have bought a new Sony32KDLEX403 TV.
