Streak 5 does not output using HDMI on Streak AV Dock
I have attached the AC adapter & HDMI cable to my Streak AV Dock, and when I dock the Streak 5, it asks me if I want to shut off the internal speakers, which leads me to believe the audio portion works(but I hav not played an MP3 yet)
I'm not getting a signal to my TV, and I have tried both HDMI cables I have, I know they work as they are normally connected to my PS3 and DVD player respectively.
The AC power works as it shows, the Streak 5 charging.
The Display window on the Streak goes to Clock with the buttons on bottom for Music pics video and home, so I'm stumped
Any advice or ideas?
thanks,

Hi all,
Dagra called me back after he came in from surfing in Cali with his son. It seems I updated to 2.2.2 while he's been away(I hurt my back
& couldn't go), and didn't know it.
He told me many over at mydellmini are having big problems with this update, so he talked me through, putting the 2.0 image he saved, back on, and had the dock working in 5 minutes for me after that(I watched him do his via skype, and followed his directions.
It seems for now, the AV Dock lets you play music, connect your iPod or other MP3(or anything else with a 3.5mm jack, and play it through the HDMI port to your sound system. The only video that can play back so far is, none..there isn't a video button to tap once the Streak 5 is docked. Seems like a bit of bad advertising on Dell's part, not to be straight with that about the streak 5. Now the streak 7 plays 1080p video back, I can tell you that's true, as we have two streak 7's and two Streak 5's.
I think dagra mentioned, putting Honeycomb on both our streak 5's, when he comes back He wonders why Dell just hasn't released it for the smaller tablet as well.
