I hooked cable directly to tv from wall and had sound, played the tuner on the receiver and had sound. I figure it has to be the cable box or and cable but I haven't had a chance to troubleshoot further. I just wondered if anyone else has had that kind of issue.

I guess durability could be a factor, but I've yet to experience it. Does the cable run have a very sharp angle or turn? I'd suspect the connectors. Perhaps the cable has a manufacturer's warranty?
