Lg tv and V+ box

RogueWolf

I hope someone can help me with this.
Bought my first HD tv over the weekend and got it all up and running last night. the TV is the LG 42LD450.
Now everything seems to work fine when i have it connected to my xbox but having plugged my V+ box in every now and again (from anything to 5 to 20 mins) the TV goes black and i lose sound for maybe a second or 2 before going back to the programme. It happened 5 times during shameless last night :mad:

I played my xbox for around 2 hours prior to this and it never happened once. I've checked my V+ settings and its all set up to run through the HDMI cable. Tried two different cables in both HDMI ports in the TV but to no avail.

Any people good with tech stuff know best course for me? I was going to call Virgin this morning and ask for a replacement box but was wondering if there is anything else I should try or do?

Quick Edit: Have tested the hdmi through my little girls telly and having same problem. Also had another mess about with the settings it seems to work fine through the HDMI cable if i change the settings to non HD but the problem starts straight back agin when i change the settings back to HD. Surely must be the box. Will get on the phone to Virgin for replacement. (Its the older type of V+ box, scientific atlantic i think) Is this a known problem or am i just unlucky?

Thanks in advance

Possibly a handshaking problem with the V+ box. I had a similar problem with an older Sharp TV and a Sky +HD box.
Turned out to be the CEC (consumer electronics control ) signal pin causing the problem.

Has the V+ box got the facility to turn this off, might be called something different.
