Contact Comcast and tell the representative what issues you are having with your HD receiver. The number for your local Comcast provider is going to be listed on your monthly bill, or you can call 1-800-Comcast. You are most likely going to be given the option of taking the HD receiver to a nearby Comcast facility or to wait for a Comcast technician to stop by and replace it. If you are in near a facility, you can pick up the replacement receiver so you aren't without cable for a few days.

Plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the back of the Comcast receiver. If you are using component cables, plug these into the "Component Out" ports on the back of the receiver. Connect the HDMI cable (if using) into an available HDMI port on the television. If using component cables, plug these into the "Component In" ports on the back of the television.
