HD-SD / SD-HD Transition Blank Screen - XD80

[richiejazz]

Been using this TV about a month - Sky Box HD into HDMI 1. Suddenly its started doing this:

Selecting channel in sky menu and press select on Sky remote - the picture in picture appears fine. Press select again to go into full screen mode. It then goes black with the info display at the top (HDMI1/Stereo 1080i - HH:MM) which is normal for a few seconds. Except now it stays black indefinitely - the sound comes on but no picture. To remedy i have to go to the input selector, select another input (HDMI2 Xbox) then flick back to HDMI 1. Now I get the picture back!
What on earth is this sudden nuisance??

EDIT...... just discovered this happens on the switch between HD and SD channels and vide versa. Flicking between any HD channel transitions fine. Same flicking between any SD channels.  If say, i flick between BBC 1 HD and BBC 1 SD, this is when it happens!

EDIT 2.... When i remedy this the info bar is also still permanently stuck top screen until I press the remote i (info) button. For some reason the clock (top right) is stuck at (currently) 22:16!! The TV clock in the home menu remains correct...

Will do thanks!

Just to clarify - does the soft reset actually wipe any custom settings??

Hi @richiejazz   No, all your custom settings will be fine. It is simply the equivalent of turning off at the mains and back on without leaving your armchair. A reboot often solves many problems.
