Default [Q] Dell Home Dock -- HDMI is screwed!

I have the Dell home dock and the HDMI does not work properly. When I try view videos or photos, the image is distorted on my TV screen and only fills the top half of the screen. Audio works perfectly.

I noticed this after upgrading from 1.6 to 2.2. I have tried several hdmi cables and several monitors , all with the same result.

Anybody else experience this?

Any ideas what could be happening??

Thanks!!

Unhappy Same problem here... Froyo ...build 12821

Thought it could be a hdcp issue... But it's test-video shot by both the front and the back cameras of the Streak... The TV (scarlet lg7000) has 4 hdmi/hdcp ports... Tried with couple of them and tried to change the cable too...

As stated by gawarner, audio is ok... Video is distorted and fills the top 20-30% of the screen.

Plus.... If everyone knows... Would like to know if there is a way to mirror the Streak on the monitor (even if it needs the root & cook and a new dock...), please let me know... thanks in advance.

I don't have a dock but i would call dell.. there was a thread i read about someone that wasn't satisfied with it and dell refunded him the money and allowed him to keep it.

Which dock do you have? The original for the Streak 5 or the one that works with both the 5 and the 7? I picked up the latter at the local T-Mo store.
