I just picked up a Panasonic th-50fs500z from Cash Converters for the man cave. It has no aerial or box as I will only wifi for apps or mirroring.

When I am running Youtube or Netflix or screen mirroring after about 10 minutes the screen goes black with a warning box saying there is no signal, just as if I pressed the TV input button. I've looked through the settings and can't see anyway to stop this happening. I Thought that it might show this screen before going to standby after 10 minutes of no signal but this still happens after disabling auto standby.

Does anyone have any suggestions or is this an error and should i return it?

TIA

Run a cable.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Using a cable doesn't make any difference. I tried that before I found out it does the same thing when mirroring. I have just reset it to 'shipping condition' in case shop mode was responsible but that hasn't fixed it either.

So if you ping the TV's IP address what happens when the problem occurs, i.e., do you still get a response.

I suspected that the fibre signal was dropping out but I pinged the TV IP hundreds of times and that doesn't seem to be the case.
As soon as the app is closed I can always get back in immediately.
