Re: Please document any V6 issues here.

The first time this happened it seemed to stop after I switched the box to standby and back on again. The second time I had to reboot the box.

Is this a known issue?

It's worth trying basic things to rule out basic causes.
Try a known working HDMI lead (from another working connected device), and try different inputs to your TV


Also, check the video output setting on the V6.


My Telewest supplied HDMI cable on the V+ caused similar issues when I first got it years ago; a new HDMI cable fixed it. HDMI handshake can cause all sorts of problems as well.


It may not be any thing to do with these things, but at least you've checked the basics before getting an engineer out.
