HDMI into Amp not Working and & Picture Quality Is...

Hello all,
I'm a first time user of the BT Vision+ service and got it all hooked up today. My kit is a Samsung UE55D8000 with Onkyo HTX22HDX amplifier.
Over the years I've had multiple Virgin V+ boxes, Xbox's, Playstation's and PC's plugged into my amp without any problems but the Vision+ box refuses to work. When I plug in the power on the Vision+ I see an initial light blue screen with a boot count number on the bottom left and then it goes blank and I get a no signal message on screen. When I plug the HDMI cable directly into the TV I get a working picture.
I've tried resetting all devices, setting picture between 1080 and 720 but all without any luck.
Has anyone else seen this before?
On a side note, so far I'm not that impressed with the picture quality. Even the freeview HD channels come out noticably worse from the Vision+ box then when I just use my builtin freeview HD. Having moved from Virgin HD, I can see the BT Sports HD channels suffer the same fate with noticale artifacting.

1. Yes - The Vision 2.0 HDMI output does carry 5.1 surround sound when available and should work with any A/V amp. 5.1 is available on some Extra TV channels and we hope to enable more channels for 5.1 soon. The on-screen TV Guide indicates which programmes carry 5.1 surround sound.
2. Freeview HD channels are delivered via Multicast across the broadband network as the box has a DVB-T tuner and not DVB-T2 which is required to receive HD broadcasts in the UK. (Although customers in Norther Ireland can actually receive some HD broadcasts from Eire via DVB-T).
The HD picture quality on the multicast Extra TV channels is generally regarded as excellent and as good as, if not better than, other HD services in the UK as BT use very good video encoders and a high bit-rate.

  • My daughter's ipod is not working and says it needs to be plugged into a computer. Can she sync to someone elses mac?

    My daughter is away at camp and ipod is not working and says it needs to be connected to itunes.  She does not have her laptop with her. Can she sync to her itunes on someone else's mac?

    Yes, when she plugs it in to another person's mac, tell it transfer purchases, then authorize the computer by going to store, and click authroize computer. If the iPod is in recovery mode
    Then I don't think she can have her music apps etc. on there after she plugs it into the computer. If it just needs a charge
    When iTunes opens on the computer, quit it, and do not let the iPod sync with the computer, just answer no or ignore to any questions asking if you want to sync.

    Hi Jbierrie,
    There is an issue with Photoshop specifically related to recent updates in which causes the licensing to revert to trial after a certain number of launches (typically 2-3).
    The current workarounds are to either:
    - Sign in with your Adobe ID again every few launches
    - Uninstall Photoshop CS6 and then reinstall it but don't install any of the updates
    The issue with the updates is planned to be fixed in the coming weeks. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    My computer's power adapter is plugged into a power source, yet the indicator light is not working and my computer is not being charged.

    I have the same issue.
    The magsafe goes orange for about 20 seconds, the battery shows 0% then it goes to a black X indicating no battery installed.
    With a new battery the same happens, although it can run on battery but does not charge.
    It runs fine on mains power, the green light is always lit.
    I have tried several things so far:
    1. Cleaned the magsafe contacts on cable and macbook
    2. Reset SMC and PRAM
    3. Installed latest battery update
    4. Tried new battery
    5. Put old battery in fridge for an hour
    I work in IT and am fairly confident taking it apart, what should I try next?
    Some people recommend a new battery connector, which doesn't seem to make sense as the battery has never been removed before.  Also some people say it will need a new logic/motherboard.
    Any experts here managed to sucessfully fix one of these?

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

    You did the wrong things. In the future it's a good idea to remember not to do something when you don't know what you are doing and what happens when you do it.
    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • HT203171 My curser pad is not working and the curser is going crazy.  I have tried all of the above but it still does not work

    My curser pad is not working and the curser is going crazy.  I have tried everything and it still does not work?

    I don't know what other solutions you've tried but on mine it was like a "Ghost in the Machine" (moving around and clicking on things on its own) and all I did to fix it was to lightly dampen a cotton ball with window cleaner (evaporates) and clean firmly around the inside edge of the pad and to also click it firmly quickly and many times to clean out ANY kind of dust or debris that has fallen into the cracks. worked GREAT for me , so far!!???

  • My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!

    My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!
    1. I tried connecting it to itunes for a system reset and it didnt work.
    2. The phone wont even turn on!!!

    If the phone wont turn on it sounds like it needs to be charged.  Plug it into a charger and wait about 15 minutes and try turning it on while still charging. Have you tried holding in your home button with the on/off button held in?  Hold them both together until the apple logo comes up and then release them.  The screen will blink off an on while it is resetting. I still think this is a battery issue. Good luck~

    I seriously doubt that Apple will accept your iPad for service/exchange since it sounds like it's a real basket case.  If they
    Do accept it, the cost would be 99USD, but if it is a 64Gb model it will cost 199USD.  The best thing for you to do is to take it into the nearest Apple store to see if they will accept it for repair/exchange.  I can tell you that they definitely will not give you an iPhone in exchange.

  • HT1212 i havnt changed my passcose and using the same passcode which i have been using since ages , its still not working, and i am 100 percent sure i am using the correct passcode ?

    i havnt changed my passcose and using the same passcode which i have been using since ages , its still not working, and i am 100 percent sure i am using the correct passcode ?.,

    Either way the result is the same... if you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.
