When will someone offer a version of this with an HDMI input? So far, all of the units seem to only have HDMI out.

It is doubtful any new versions of the current Magnavox MDR53x HDD/DVD Recorders will have HDMI inputs.(The Magnavox MDR53x series record to the DVD specification, which is 480i.)

No because of copyright laws and industry restrictions - this will not happen on a device that writes to portable recording media (DVD, Blu-ray, etc). The idea being - as I understand it - to restrict/reduce/eliminate anything but streaming media to consumers. Your satellite, cable, etc PVR/DVR's that have hard drives only - encrypt that data at rest on the hard drive. Your DVR/PVR HDMI output signal checks to see if the receiving device is DMCP - digital media copyright protection compliant - and these devices will not be compliant as the industry and law are currently. I would recommend AVS forums for any indepth discussion of this subject. This is very high level - and I'm not an expert.

I've noticed it in SD (using Dish Network) but not in HD yet. I'm thinking it's because I'm just using the RCA that came with it, but even without the HDMI cables the picture is fantastic. Can't wait to see the HD and SD channels and Blu-Ray with the HDMIs

Months ago I understood it did not support HDMI 2. when I spoke to LG executive customer service. I suggest you call them for updates. Many consumers wanted this but I don't know if the got around to a firmware upgrade or it could not be done.I purchased the Samsung 78 inch 9000 series that has it all and the one connect box makes it a better choice of a purchase.The Samsung is sensational.

Did you try to unplug the HDMI cable? If you switch input source or bring up the menu, does this show the overlay screen with the correct colors? Otherwise search for this at the internet.

You need to go in your settings and you'll see the HDMI cable in the "OUtput" options. That's it

None of them do. I finally gave up and bought a new TV. That was the only solution I could finally come up with. So much new stuff today requires HDMI.

My 606 is just now experiencing some HDMI swiching problems. From what I understand, that has been corrected, and I am expecting (crossed fingers) that Santa brings me a new shiny 608 for Christmas. I wouldn't have too many worries.

Have similar issue, seems the hdmi out port is to blame, changed all the cables (several times) to no avail. This started after only 6 days, bought because of a relative small number of problems, only to encounter one myself. I have yet to find a fix and not willing at this time to have it repaired will prob send back for a replacement

What about the picture quality? My TV is coming in a few days and the HDMI ports and all the other stuff is not a problem for me. Im just concerned about the picture because the store didnt have a floor model to look at.

It does not come with HDMI input or output. You have to get creative since this has an old school hookup in the back with RCA Jacks.

If you Google this question, the key answer that tends to come up is that it is not HDMI 2.0 compatible out of the box but will be in Sep 2014 when LG creates a separate hardware add-on. I've read that this could be anywhere from $100-$400 extra. Can from LG anyone confirm this?

No there isn't an hdmi input. I use an optical cable and it works great with that.
