Hi Guys,

For the last 3 Years I've had ran my tivo through a HDMI splitter and out to 3 TV's via HDMI extenders (all neet) without issue.

At christmas I added a 4th TV and a further extender, this time a HDBaseT (Octava HD70STP-EX). All was working well for the first few weeks until all stopped working, the Box would transmit the EPG and banners along with the epg sound effects but no picture to any tv.

If I bypassed the splitter and used a single extender I had the same problem. I have now had 2 engineers out and 2 new boxes, the first sent the picture but the sound stuttered (every second) the third now has the same issue as the first.

Could this be a HDCP problem, has anybody experienced this before?

I have also changed all the HDMI leads, switched off the CEC & recording function on the TV (Hisense H55M7000)
 
Unusual problem.

First test if I were fault finding with our Octava HDBT unit would be to simplify the system down to the Source > HD70STPEX > Display 1, then 2, then 3, and finally 4 and see if you get a consistent result/problem across the four Displays.
