HI I cant get HDMI mode to work - It starts to appear and then It goes black and I get the message from my Samsung TV - "Input mode not supported". It works fine using component cables. . Is it the cable? Port on TV? Port on Wii-U? Some TV setting? I have tried unplugging\plugging
cable many times - I have not tried another TV port yet as they are all in the back and hard to access

Any suggestions on the TV end of things ?

Maybe you have 1080p instead if 1080i or something, Try and see if you can change the settings in system settings on the Wii U.

I wrote this in another thread:

Did you try HDMI inputs on another device? Maybe it's a handshake issue. I had an issue like that once with my PS3. If I plugged the PS3 into my Onkyo AVR (audio/video receiver for those who don't know), I would get intermittent video (video then blank screen, rinse & repeat). Then if I plugged the HDMI from the PS3 directly into the TV itself and bypassed my AVR altogether that soloved the issue completely. So, maybe this is a similar case.

This is the video I made of the problem ages ago.
