v+ BOX FAULT??

[shardsta]

Hi
I have had the box for a fortnight and over that period of time my screen would go blank... the sound would be ok and the miniguide and menus worked fine ..just no tv picture. The randomness has now gone and its permanentJust wondered if this had happened to any1 else?

I've had the same.

The fault ? it was my LCD Tv. Turn it off for the usual 10 secs, everything is now funky.

Really never saw it as been the tv as dvd and xbox are fine have to have another play

I had the same fault some time ago. It turned out to be a faulty HDMI socket on the V+.
I found if I wiggled the HDMI cable plug about, it would work for a bit, but it eventually failed completely. The only fix was a new box

I should explain that mine was just a faulty hdmi cable and not a box problem

what happens to all these boxes that are sent back, are they repaired
then sent out to new subscribers. i bought sky+ when it first came out
so it was always going to be a new box. virgin media have been selling
their v+boxes for a while now, so judging by the amount of boxes that
have been sent back some new customers, somewhere are bound to be
given a refurbished model , i just hope it's me.
