Hiya,
Ok, quick background. both me and my girlfriend (2 different houses, same area) have virgin's V+ drive. Ive just gotta new tv and so she has had my old HD TV.
Just installed the TV, and configured the V+ to HD over HDMI for the first time. Menu's (the channel pop ups, config menu's, V+ Drive menus) work fine, and sound (output on photo L/R) is fine. But the video stream does not display! Obviously phoned their customer support and they are a dream to talk to (LOL!), after insisting to them that it isnt the hdmi cable, and its plugged in the right holes, and I pressed the text key on the V+ controller (not the tv one!!) after changing the config, they agreed to send out a engineer on wednesday. But I was just wondering if anyone else had had the same problem.
It seems very very strange to me that the menus display. but the videostream doesnt!! Wondering if it needs a download/firmware update to make things work. When I initially changed the settings the picture did display for about 2-3 seconds, then all went black! Ive resorted back to scart for the meantime, but if anyone has any suggestions please throw them this way.
Personally I never managed to get HDMI to work on my TVDrive (I had it in the very early days!), so im using componant! Which we may end up doing here as well, but...hey ho!
Thanks guys/gals.
