[TonyN]

Hi, has anybody had this problem?
Every couple of seconds picture turns pink (or figures have pink outline) and this is acompanied by a crackle on the sound. Fault is intermittent.

Looks like a bad connection. HDMI or component?

[TonyN]

Mine is HDMI connection, will change lead and check connections. Thank you.

It's also possible that the conectors (on STB/Amp/TV) are defect.
So if the issue is still there after changing the cable, you could check using component (3 x Cinch, don't worry about the quality).

Sorry, I am not a sat buff :-{ what does ... 3 x Cinch, don't worry about the quality). mean?

Thanks

Any cable like

The colours don't matter.


But first see if an other HDMI-lead sorts the issue.

Also power everything off before changing HDMI cables - it is easy to cause permanent damage to the circuitry

Thank you all so much, I have changed the HDMI lead and that seems (?) to have sorted it out.
I will report back. Thanks again.
