This happens because of the color decoder in the TV. A TV color decoder has a switch that makes the TV image black and white when the received signal does not have sufficient power. Your TV color decoder switch remains in the black and white position (the TV receives weak signal or the TV color decoder is damaged).
Replace the TV antenna, try an antenna amplifier or a digital receiver before the TV.
why would you want to connect a hdd dvd to the strong decoder. Wouldn't you connect it to a television via the hdd dvd av output into the av input of the tv and then switch the telivision on input source to AV1 .
You did not mention the model number of the strong decoder but is this a digital tv to Analogue TV decoder.?
you might also have HDMI output and HDMI input on the devices .
That would be better to use if it exists. If you only have one AV input on the TV use a AV switch box and switch between the decoder and the HDD dvd device using
Jason478. I would be surprised you are picking up the signal from the Spot beam which Sky Pacific uses. I do not believe even the spill is reaching Hawaii. Best to get a refund of your money as you will definitely loose the signal when the replacement satellite kicks in on Dec 2011. Be careful of the Sales people in Sky Pacific.

If you want to receiver a satellite signal, you will need a dish outside and a receiver to decode the signal enabling you to view the programs. I hope this helps.
This would be due to no signal getting into the decoder.. make sure you cables are tight, if they are you might have a bad decoder but without more information it would be hard to tell..
I strongly doubt it's the lamp assy since you can actually see the blue screen. If the lamp failed, you would not see anything on the screen. This blue screen indicates to me that either the tuner is no longer decoding the signal, in improper input has been selected (ie: input 1 is selected while actual signal is on composite 1), or something of that nature. If you are getting audio then the input is selected properly but the video decoder has failed.
If your cable signal is going through a VCR or DVD, disconnect it from there and go directly to the TV (ie: bypass the VCR/DVD). If your picture comes back, there's some kind of problem with your VCR/DVD player.
If you have multiple inputs, try connecting an input signal to another input (ie: video 1, or aux from a dvd player) and see if you get a picture there. If you do get a picture, the whatever input you're currently using has malfunctioned.
