Is my HDMI going south?

I noticed today that when watching, I see yellow shadows on the screen, especially on facial features during close ups.

I know it's not the TV, because it's fine while watching DVDs.

THoughts? anything else I can try to rule this out? THe unit is just under a year old.

Well no responses, but here's more info.

I currently have the h10-250 connect to my Sammy DLP with a HDMI/DVI cable. I don't know was using this cable when I had an HDMI/HDMI cable laying around with all my extra cables. The only explanation is that I didn't know any better when I set this up a year ago.

Anyway, I connect using component cables and the problem disappears. I then disconnect the HDMI/DVI and connect via HDMI/HDMI. Horrible picture, It looked like I was watching negatives. I then went back to the HDMI/DVI and I got the same picture. Go back to component and it's fine.

So, I eliminated the cable since I tried two different ones. The inputs on my TV have been ruled out since it's unlikely that both the DVI and HDMI inputs both went bad. Only common denominator was the HDMI output from the receiver.

Called DirecTV yesterday and found out that yesterday was my one year anniversary of activating it, so my warranty was about to expire. Talk about timing! DirecTV is shipping out a new box that I should get by Wednesday.

Now I gotta watch all my TiVo'd stuff quick.

My only confusion is why my HDMI/DVI was slightly bad before I disconnected it, and then it went completely bad when reconnecting it. THoughts?
