HDMI Signal Cuts Out - Possibility Temporary Patches? (1 Viewer)

[Superskull85]

I have a TV with a HDMI port which I believe to be having signal problems. I have tried multiple HDMI cords and devices and the problem happens with each one. I was wondering if anyone knew of any easy temporary ways to resolve this problem in the short term until I can get a new TV?

Usually when this happens frequently in one session I would disconnect the HDMI cord to force a new handshake between the devices, This works but I was wondering if there is anything else I could do to help "patch" this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Buy an external switch and use your good port.

Hi schan,

There is only one HDMI port on this particular TV.

Does it have a DVI?

With only 1 HDMI...hopefully you got the DVI.

It does. I'm guessing you were thinking about converting to DVI and using a separate audio input?

 

[schan1269]

Since DVI doesn't do audio, you need external audio.Do you use external audio?

 

[Superskull85]

Yes I can output and receive audio separately. I was not thinking about DVI because of the added cost for conversion. I'm guessing by your response you don't know of any tricks to lessen this effect over HDMI?

Added cost for conversion of what?

HDMI to DVI, there is no conversion. You buy the cable and you are done.
