I tried once again to get the TV in the bedroom to work, but all I can get is the Blu-Ray, and that’s not good enough. There is only one co-ax hook-up on the Blu-Ray, and two sets of colored “Gazintas” and two HDMI hook-ups.

I have the HDMI between the TV and the Blu-ray, after trying and giving up on the color-coded cable, and have the co-ax from the living room hooked to the TV. “No Signal” is what I keep getting, so I’m wondering if I should call Cox *shudder* and find out what’s wrong, besides Operator Error.

It sounds as though you have a single output device connected to a single input device. This will work, but only as long as each is doing only one thing.

What you need is a way to select a second source and display it. This should be a TV function, but the way you have it, you need the Blu-Ray to do it, and it doesn’t wanna.

Ia! Ia! Cox Support Fhtagn!

Pretty much..

The cable might “need” to go into some box first, depends on how the cable gets there to begin with.
If there’s a cable box elsewhere, then the cable might not be hooked to that before heading into that room, OR it is broken somewhere along the line.

I didn’t understand a word of that, but I don’t mind. I hope you get it sorted out!
