Really getting a bit sick of this over-sensitivity to cabling, power-cycles etc. and whatever happened to 'backwards compatibility'?

I just tried watching the 25th Anniversary Hall of Fame Awards Anniversary on Bluray from an Oppo 103 BD player. After the first 20-30 minutes the picture cuts out (snow) and/or screen turns to green (obvious handshake problem)! I got so pi$$ed off with it I eventually killed the screen and just listened to the audio.

Surely, 1080p playback should just happen regardless of which HDMI cable is used?

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
