Hi @
mdt, Thanks for your reply, but I must repair the fault before I can try what you have suggested.
Firstly, I have tried troubleshooting the problem today.
Problem with 6800
The problem is that the signal from the receiver to the tv keeps going on and off, and the TV shows "HDMI" when it comes back on.
This problem occurs when;
1. I am changing a channel
2. Navigating aroung the menu and channel list
3. Sometimes just changed to a channel (after the menu disappears just after the channel appears; in-fact just after the channel info box disappears)
My equipment
1. 2 Satellite dishes ("
a" + "
b")
both pointing at 42e
2. 2 Receivers (6800 + 1000 Series)
3. 2 Televisions (1 "
Big" + 1 "
Small")
4. 2 HDMI cables
I have tried as many combinations that I could and these are the results:
Combinations where 6800 doesn't have a problem
1. Small TV + Dish b + Scart / HDMI
2. Small TV + Dish a + Scart / HDMI
Combinations where 6800 has a problem
1. Big TV + Dish a + both HDMI sockets on the TV with 2 different HDMI cables.
(couldn't try Scart as the big tv is mounted on the wall and the socket is behind the TV
BUT, I have tried connecting a PS3 using HDMI on the Big TV and there doesn't seem to be a problem).
Note: The 1000 Series receiver didn't have a problem at all.
At first sight it seems to be a problem with the TV's HDMI inputs, however why did the Playstation work?
I also had a look at all display and input options on the TV AND the 6800.
Factory reset both the TV and the 6800.
Then I think I am sure that it's the 6800 that's faulty, but then it worked with the Small TV.
The receiver used to work till a few days back, why is my 6800 not working correctly with the TV is the question.
Sorry about the long message, but I thought I'd try make everything clear.
Thanks.
you say you are using 752P(the latest firmware from official TM site from 27-12-2012) then why dont you try "patched firmware" as your box is capable of so much more. try loading this software in this order...
1. back up channel list and save lat/long
2. factory reset
3. load 752 official firmware
4. factory reset
5. load @
phantompatch 753P
6. factory reset
7. re-load channel list and enter lat/long details
8. load latest softcam
