Having a bit of a cable issue and wondered if anyone has any ideas of the possible cause.
I am running a 10m fibre optic cable. Cable is Ruipro which after reading reviews on here it should be up to the job with the below:
TV - LG OLED55CX5LB
SKY Q 2TB UHD box
Sonos Arc
HDMI Switch
Now the issue I am having is very odd... If I plug the cable directly into the Sky box I can't get 8 bit or 10 bit to work at all. 1080p etc will work fine no issues. In the other modes I just get a pure black screen no flicking or fuzziness.
If I plug the 10m fibre cable into my HDMI switch, then use the Sky Q cable provided then I can get 8 bit to work, but 10 bit will not work.
If I select 10 bit as above, then the screen will go black, if I press left and select on the controller then it will use 10 bit mode, but the screen stays black. Now oddly, if I unplug the sky cable out of the switch and I plug it back in, the picture will come on and 10 bit will work fine. It will stay working perfectly fine with no drop outs etc, so I believe the cable to be working perfectly okay. Problem is, as soon as I switch the tv off, or the sky box off, then when I turn it back on 10 bit will not work again and the only way to fix is to unplug the Sky cable and plug it back in. Sometimes however doing this audio will not work and obviously this is not a long term fix.
Now I know I can watch uhd in 8 bit for the time being, but would really like to get this sorted before hdr properly goes live for Sky.
For reference Ruipro sent me a new cable as well.
I believe it to be some form of handshake issue but not sure where to tie it down to. The Sky box is the black and silver one which I believe to be a V2.
Do you think it's worth trying a replacement Sky box ?
