2405 Video Input Problem

So I finally got the 2405 after weeks of waiting. It's absolutely flawless, nary a dead pixel. So last week I decided to run a video (S-Video and Composite) feed from my Dish Network box so that I can have PiP while at the computer. I tried composite first, only to see the 'No Input' message. I plugged the same composite cable into the back of another tv and it worked. Then I tried the s-video cable, same results. Am I missing something? Are these inputs different than video inputs on the back of a standard tv?

have you tried using it with other devices other than the cable box? it may have some lame macrovision type thing or something... try that first then contact dell if you cant get it working.
