Have you selected the correct input source on the Samsung t.v.?

Try another port, suspect bad cable.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from shapavi1 : "not seeing dvd output on samsung tv, with hdmi cable"

Welll it's going to the cable box first and out the cable box to the tv. I can watch cable just fine.
Do I need a 2-input to-1-output hdmi switch if there even is such a thing

Both the DVD and cable box connect separately directly to the TV. Cable boxes don't have HDMI inputs only an output.
If the TV only has one HDMI input then you are correct that you need an HDMI input selector to expand the number of inputs. Something like these
