I was offered a V+ box by virgin media and decided to get full value by replacing my old TV with a new Sony Bravia KDL40X3000 to enjoy HD. Every day the picture would dissappear leaving only sound, usually after a half hour viewing. The picture comes back and goes again at varying intervals. An engineer from virgin tested all connections and could not find a fault. I called him back as the picture continued to dissappear. He removed the HDMI lead and replaced it with a scart lead which has solved the problem. However I no longer have HD and the TV is set to widescreen. The engineer says leave it as it is as there is only one HD preview channel any way . Charming, thats service.
I would like to know if the fault is with the Sony TV or Virgin or are they not compatable. Freeview is looking good right now.
