Daniel,
That might be the model HD DVR in the setup I worked on. I only programmed the remote and did some last minute hookups after the installer alienated himself completely from the client.

Anyway, the DVR goes to a Gefen switcher, whose manual says nothing at all about control signals. The output of the Gefen switcher goes locally to a Sharp projector and via 2 CAT5s to the HDMI input of a Panasonic plasma.

Now, if the display can influence what happens at the source, what the heck will happen with this combination? We get no actual malfunction, only the DVR switching back to channel 1, video on demand, when we switch away and back. To any other input, either the DVD or the four unused ones.

I think it is HDMI that is screwy.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
