Recently I have started noticing a washed out image with a greenish tint on all channels. Everything will be working fine, but after a while the screen washes out like a filter over it. I believe the Multi-room dvrs have a green issue with hdmi, but the entire screen goes green right? I can still see the picture but it just a color tint all over.
If I switch inputs on the TV, the image is fine again. Or turn it on/off again Could this be the TV?
52XBR4 (Sony) with HDMI from the QIP 7216 (1.6.2 Guide)
Thanks

Could be the TV, but the first thing I would try is re-seating the HDMI cables at both end (diconnect/reconnect them) or try using component Video cables to make sure you don't have a cable/contact issue at one end or the other.

Ok - I have swapped out the hdmi cable and used a different input on the TV. I experienced the same issue, so I am feeling it is the DVR.
My guess is the DVR is passing a marginal HDMI signal. I am wondering if the DVR can be swapped or if I should wait and see if the 1.7 upgrade ever gets pushed out to my area - to see if that helps.
How does one get a DVR swapped?
Thanks

You've elimitated the cables and the TV input, but not the TV itself. Can you try a different TV? Can you try component inputs to the TV?

Thanks. I do not have the issue with my playstation 3 using the same HDMI port. It looks like I have more HDMI issues then just the washed out colors. I have seen black images for 1 or 2 seconds, snow for 1 or 2 seconds and the color wash out which stays until I switch inputs and back.
I am not sure about the audio as I am using an optical cable for sound to my receiver and the sounds stays fine during each of the temp issues.
I am hoping the 1.7 HDMI fixes will solve this but I guess I could have a bad DVR.
Are these normal issues for the 7xxx series with 1.,6?
