Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with my 3808 when I'm using my satellite. I'm getting a black screen and it says "searching for signal" every time I change the channel, exactly like it does when I change inputs to DVD, i.e. it takes about three seconds to find the signal. The odd thing about this happening with my satellite is that I have audio, but no video for the three seconds. This is new, as it was working fine on Saturday. I just noticed it yesterday, when I was also having a problem with the GUI not showing up on the screen, so I had to do a reset (recommended by Denon) and it fixed that problem, but I still have this problem. Denon figures that it's some sort of handshake issue and the 3808 is at fault and I should send it in to get it serviced which I'm not enthusiastic about.

So, long story short, do you guys have any ideas at all about what the problem could be and how I can fix it?

Thanks.
