Looks like you nailed it. However, for other instances, swapping out to another brand of cable can be useful. I tried to set up my PS3 and Toshiba HD-DVD on a HDMI Switch Box and it lost signal about every 30 to 60 seconds. Problem turned out to be the particular HDMI cables I bought for the switch box outs combined with the switchbox.
When used directly, the cables worked fine. When using different cables, the switchbox worked fine. Combine them and no-go.

I agree that the cables and other suggestions given above would have been my first thoughts. I recognized his model number as one I’ve been looking at while shopping for my father.
I also had HDMI switch issues with one bought locally. Worked fine except it wouldn't pass the signal from my Xbox. Returned it and ordered one for 1/3 the cost from Monoprice which works great.
What annoys me most about the cables is the way they fall out so easily whenever I move anything.

I have one port that is eternally loose on my switch. If you can see inside to see if where it's safe, drill and tap a small hole near the port. I then tightened a wire-tie (zip cord) around the hdmi cord and put a screw through the length of it into the switch to secure it into place.
A little cleaner looking than wrapping the wire tie right around the box but that is another option.
