What to do when there is no HDMI signal?
When components are connected via HDMI they each look to “handshake” with each other when turned on. In many systems the order in which they are turned on causes problems. If the no signal message is from the TV then I would try to leave the cable box and receiver on then turn on the TV. Also try other combinations. Try a different input on the TV.
Why does my HDMI output on my AVR stop working?
Odds are it won’t change anything but worth a try. The HDMI indicator on the front panel of the AVR lights up when you have valid HDMI handshake with a source device. On my Yamaha AVR the light only comes on when the BD player (HDMI connected) is powered up, and goes off if the BD player is powered off.

What to do if there is no HDMI signal?
If that doesn’t work, the next thing to consider is changing the boot sequence. So, if you turned on the display before your HDMI source, try turning both off and then powering them on in the opposite order. This is an extremely common solution for people with HDMI sources connected to a home theater system or an audio/video receiver.
