ive had this issue a few times on Sharp tv`s and its one of 2 things.

1. HDMI cable issue

2. Firmware issue with the tv.

Sharp tv`s are very sensitive to faulty HDMI cables and can pick up a fault on the cable that other tvs usually dont. so first thing to do is change the HDMI cable. the HDMI cables that VM supply are really cheap anyway and usually dont work long on the Sharp tv`s ive had.

if you have shanged the cable then they may well be an issue with the tv`s firmware. the reason you get sound and no picture is down to a HDCP handshake failure between the tv and the box. ring sharp and ask for the latest firmware to be installed on your tv they will either send and engineer round to do it or send you a USB flash drive with instructions on how to do it.
