I Have Surround Sound, But No Picture On Tv

I cannot get a picture on TV, when playing a DVD, also no picture if I play through the home theatre system. I am connected to cable box with HDMI cable, and HDMI from Home Theatre to TV via wall connection( new house). If I connect via HDMI cable from cable box to TV via wall, TV works fine. I have tried a different HDMI cable to hook up to cable box, but still no picture. it used to work, now it dosn't, something wrong with Blu-Ray Home Theatre?
