Difficulty with HDMI input from Cable box to TV via receiver

[Kush]

My set up

TV-Sharp Aquos 46" 1080p
Receiver - Pioneer Elite VSX84 TSXI
Cable Box - Shaw Digital box (Canada)

I tried to hook up the cable box to the receiver to take advantage of the HDMI connections. However the picture does not go through to the TV and the error msg indicates that the set top box does not support the connection. Has anyone else had a similar experience and is there a work around?

Common issue related directly to the cable box. A lot of cable companies have released new software to fix the problem, but you will have to contact them to see.

Yep very true. Time Warner Cable in Easter NC is finally fixing their SA 8300HD. They are doing it in Wilmington from what I understand. But for us living a few hours away in the sticks that firmware upgrade is not comming any time soon. I have to use Comp. Video in my house. The SA8300HD with HDMI is just to jacked up and unreliable.
