I reviewed most...not all...HD receivers and the Cable-Out ports are active.  Maybe yours in not active.  Which receiver do you have?

Not sure what you mean by "HD receiver", but the Cisco box I have says "4742HDC" above the power button on the front. My TV is a somewhat old 2011 Dynex DX-32L221A12.  Of course, if anybody wants to bless me with the very latest in techno-wonder video equipment, keep the old saying in mind and "just make the checks / money orders out to 'Cash'."  =)
