You box is set to a different HD level..meaning your tv maybe 1080i and the box is set to 1080p and your tv won't work on that setting. Find a t.v. that it does work on and reset the box to auto or read the man. to find a reset.. sometimes holding down a certain button while you power it on does the trick.

Invalid format on hdmi

Unplug set, HDMI, and a box if used for a while--connect the HDMI first and then power to set and or box--see if set will reboot or box.

HDMI does not like power loss, being connected or disconnected with power on etc.

Also in set menu make sure HDMI input is "available".

Well everytime we hook up the HDMI for the playstation 3 to the tv it says invalid format how do i fix this

You must make sure your playstation and your TV set are both set for the same video format (1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc.).

You can either go through all your HDTV formats until it synchs up (give each a good 20 seconds or so before moving on), or you can open the display menu for your PS/3 using a different video connection to your set (i.e. composite), setting both to match, then switching them to HDMI.

My HDMI cable is hooked up from cable box to backside of TV. My HD does not seem to be working.. I have gone through input and HDMI settings without any upgrade in picture..

You only get a HD picture if the cable or satellite provider is sending it in HD, otherwise you see it in regular format. Your set can produce only what it receives.

LC-26DA5U 26 in. HDTV-Ready LCD Television: i connect a hdmi cable 2 my hd cable box - the pic...

The cable box needs to be set to send different signals when using hd tv and standard tv. Usually a good setting would be 720p in hd and 480p in standard. The tv is working fine it is the cable box sending the signal. If you have another hdmi source such as a dvd player you may hook that up to show the tv is working just fine.
