I have a Sony Blueray DVD player and a Mitsubishi DLP television that use a HDMI cable and I have trouble with the HDMI connector vibrating loose from it's connection point, does anyone have any tips on how to properly secure a HDMI connection?

  HDMI has horrid connectors by nature. Some do have decent connectors, but many cheap or poorly designed ones don't.

  Parts Express sells an anchoring kit for its Dayton Audio Signature HDMI cables. The kit only fits those specific cables, but the the kit works, and the cables are very high quality. The price is very reasonable given the quality of the cables.

  Maybe try a different cable? Other than superglue I'm fresh out of ideas. The HDMI connector has got to be the worst POS connector ever designed and foisted on the consumer in history. Unfortunately, they're the only game in town.
