Hi Gonk I forgot to mention this even happens now without even going to digital in on the tv,but on the coax cable going direct to the tv, the geffen was a hdmi 2x1 and I was using dvi to hdmi adapters and sometimes they would work loose and the tv and or cable box would freak out, now its connected direct to the 990 and I get the warnings it's just a pain to have to hit exit everytime you change a channel, I wonder if I should just reconnect the geffen switch box.
