I just got an Amazon Basics HDMI cable for my Fire HD 8.9. When I hooked it up to the TV, the connection went in and out; even when the picture stayed on, the sound went in and out, if I so much as moved anything. After fiddling with it (unplugging/plugging the Fire end and wiggling it) I got it to stay on with sound as long as I didn't move the Fire or cable at all.
I can't tell if the problem is a bad cable connector or a bad HDMI port on the Fire. I figure I might order another cable and if I still have trouble, contact CS and see if I need to exchange the Fire. Wondering if anyone else has had issues, for comparison.
