from the workshop after a free HDMI board fix. Freesat box and TV talking to one another again.

That's a result, well done. Did they consider it a one-off repair to a faulty board by the way?

The engineer who made the fix last Monday called me afterward to see what the problem had been. I said that the freesat+ box and sky hd box were no longer talking to the tv. He said something about the new hdmi board having new chips in them so I'd have thought the cheapest way was a new board. For a telly bought three years ago this was very good of Hitachi to do for free.
