I record in HD for VBUX!
were you using hdmi before? if so component is usually on a different input for your tv.

if you get picture on your tv until your pvr is pulled up on your computer check the box on the left where it shows how its connected. one time mine got switched to SD and my tv would black screen as soon as i turned my pc on.

No.. But they are all correct.. It was working until yesterday when i started up MW2.. All of a sudden my ps3 won't work and the component cables don't work. This happened before but i forget how i fixed it..
And yes my components are on the right input channel...

USE HDMI first, set it to 720p. After that switch back to component cables again. You have to turn ON the HD PVR first before turning on the Ps3.

Use 720p for component cables for optimum display settings.

Don't want SD cables?
Components are HD
