Loss of signal (I think)
Had our Foxsat HDR for maybe a couple of years. Everything was spot on but lately on occasions the screen goes black for a few secs then comes back on again. When it does happen it can be quite frequent. I don't get any 'no signal', just a blank screen. Any help appreciated but please keep it non-techie.
I have another prob with subtitles but hoping that's fixed now I've done a factory reset. If not I'll be back. |

I would be inclined to try a new hdmi cable. An el cheapo one will do fine.

Cheers Graham,
We've only had the HDMI cable for less than a year though and it wasn't a cheapie. So it's rubbish that 'el cheapos' are useless then ? |

It's not happened since (typical) but I'll certainly give that a go. BTW I don't remember getting one with our Foxsat, the one I've got we bought when we got a new tv.

. For short leads a £1.00 lead from Poundland will work just as well. The one that came with the hdr should be fine. |

Patience is a vitue !!!
I pride myself on NEVER getting conned with 'the dearer the better' but guess what - I did this time when we bought our new tv after having an old CRT and was, let's say, persuaded to buy a £30 cable. As I couldn't wait to get the tv home and immediately set up I fell for it :-/
