Default Problem-looking For Help/advice

Hello, i'm a newbie so any help is greatly appreciated.

Just got the top of the line LG 42" plasma. I have hooked up the HD Rogers box but i have a problem. When watching HD channels through the component input (best option), the color is off/wrong. Skin color is "sick" looking, very gray. Reds are way off also & the yellow's are way to vibrant...almost buzzing like cheap neon. The definition & clarity is fine though, just the color is the problem. I have adjusted all color options on the TV in hopes that it would go away to no avail. I have double checked my hook-ups & everything is correct. I don't think the TV is the problem as the color is fine when watching non-HD channels. Could it be the Rogers HD box that is the problem?

Thanks.

Finally found out what the problem was...faulty component cables. I purchased high end component cables originally, took them back & got new ones. Same problem existed after gettting the 2nd set. So, after getting the 3rd set & changing manufacturers, everything is good to go. I never thought the same thing could happen twice...proved me wrong.

Thanks to all those who looked @ my post.
