I really hate troubleshooting problems with HDMI. Much of the time, there's nothing you can do because it's a hardware compatibility issue. This shouldn't be happening so many years into the existence of the HDMI standard.
We never had such problems with RCA/SCART and component video. It just sort of worked, and on the rare occasion that it didn't, you wouldn't be left staring at a blank screen. It would usually just look sort of fuzzy.

My cable tuner and my receiver were good friends just a few days ago, but now they refuse to exchange audio over HDMI. I changed absolutely nothing on my end, and I'm suspecting that the cable company changed the firmware or the audio encoding in some way.
Is there some kind of debugger box you can attach between two HDMI devices to eavesdrop on the handshake and check what's going on? I have wanted that so many times.
