Playback goes black for a second

Advertisements

Hi,

I have a year old Tivo Bolt and very recently during a show playback and during live TV the screen goes black for a second or two then comes back. This happens more frequently when continuing to watch. If I rewind and watch the same scene over it plays fine so the black display is not part of the recording or live TV viewing. Also I'm not sure if its the HDMI connection to the TV because after experimenting I found that the Tivo banners (displays show name, etc) show up fine even when the screen goes blank so Tivo is still connected to the TV during that time.

Anyone else having a similar issue or have suggestions? I did reboot once and switch output from Automatic to fixed resolution and back and seems to happen in each trial.

Thanks.

 

Yes but may be a slightly different problem if HDMI cables helped as Tivo banners are still showing up when problem occurs for me. Also other thread had no updates since September (until I added a comment).

Thanks for the explanation and suggestion. I will give it a try.
