Hello,
Hope everyone is well.
I've just been upgraded to a V6 Virgin Box which has replaced my old Tivo Box.
We have 2 boxes in our house, and a third TV, wall mounted in a bedroom that gets light use. The old Tivo box was plugged into a HDMI Splitter, then one output went into the amp in our movie room, and the other output went into a HDMI-ethernet converter, went through around 15m of ethernet to its receiver and plugged into a 4k LG tv. This all worked perfectly until i got the Virgin V6 Box..
Using this V6 box, when it goes into standby, we do not get anything upon turning it back on, either locally using the HDMI splitter, or over the ethernet.
As i have a 4K Projector I've upgraded the kit a bit, i tried a 4k HDMI splitter / scaler to give me 4k in movie room, and 1080p using existing ethernet adaptors. That didn't work (same problem as below but i didn't know at the time), so I've just brought the Startech 4k ethernet kit that has a HDMI passthrough on. I have the same problem, when the V6 Box goes into standby and turns back on, nothing shows an image. It can be resolved instantly by powering off and back on the HDMI splitter. Then the projector and other tv work fine. All channels work including the 4K ones, so i don't think its HDCP, all cables are new and as far as i can see, everything is hdcp 2.2.
Spoke to startech, they're not sure what the problem is. Don't want to spend too much more on it but cannot have Virgin in this bedroom due to its location, however I've ran ethernet to it through the loft.
I've tried running the V6 box in 1080p and 4k, it does the same on both resolutions. The startech box is good as you can define the direction of the eeid, tried that both ways, startech say set it to 'rx' so it gets the eeid from the V6 Box. Its nothing to do with the ethernet stretch of the job as the startech has HDMI passthrough and that should work no matter if the ethernet is in or not.. I think its a handshake issue when the box goes into standby and i might need another bit of kit to keep the HDMI connection alive. What is strange is that the startech box is powered from the wall, so is always on, like a tv would be in 'standby' so I'm just not sure why its not holding the HDMI connection.
Hopefully someone will have an idea on how to help
Cheers
David
