    Some PC video cards aren’t able to switch the type of signal being used while the PC is powered on. In other words, your computer monitor is currently receiving the picture.
    Try to power off the PC, leave the TV connected, and power the PC back on. It should work this time.

    Have you tried PC VGA out to regular monitor?See if your video card works.IF so,have you use HDTV to auto-detect source of different signal like DVD or DVR or Cable box?
